Hi Julie   Thanks for the email and the big Hello.  Much appreciated.   You are right about the winter days they are far too short and the daylight is so important when felting with different colour tones of wool and alpaca.  I mainly use alpaca for my scarves as it is so soft and it felts a lot finer than the wool I am presently using.    I have been busy with scarves and felt landscapes and shawls over the past month.  I have sold a few in a local gallery and am very pleased with myself.  I sold quite a few last year as well.  I was updating my art journal the other day and I was surprised by the changes in my felt art over the past four years.  The tones are softer and the textures are more complex.  I know the book that you bought, I was eyeballing it on the web last night, I was temped to buy it too but was not sure how much wet felting was in it.  Can you tell me if it includes wet felt work?  I loved the picture of the landscape sky on the cover.  Wow.   Talk again soon   Cheers   Teresa --- On Tue, 6/3/08, Julie Williams <jaruleeli01@ yahoo.com. au> wrote: From: Julie Williams <jaruleeli01@ yahoo.com. au> Subject: Re: [AussieFeltmakers] Quiet Group! To: AussieFeltmakers@ yahoogroups. com.au Date: Tuesday, June 3, 2008, 3:50 PM Hey Teresa   Hi and Welcome in case I have not said it before...... you will get the hang of it......just get all the emails through your normal email site, and you won't have to navigate too much, only when you want to see the piccy's, which are quite easy to do (see the bottom of your email).   It is very quiet on the list at present, and also in my household.  I have been unpicking some machine embroidery that I did on some of my felt.....decided that I did not like what I had produced, so out it had to come.  Now I have to start again.   Not a lot gets done by me in the winter.....I seem to go to work in the dark and come home in the dark, and because I work long hours, I am very tired when I come home, so it is almost straight to bed, so that I can get up at the ungodly hours that I do.  Never mind, it will not be forever, I guess.  Sometimes I do not get to even check the emails for a week or more, by which time, I am having to answer so many I cannot keep up.   I bought a new book tother day.....called ART IN FELT.  As I am writing this at work, I cannot have a look at the book to relay the author's name, and off the top of my head, I cannot remember it.  I got it at the Art and Craft Show at the Convention Centre in Perth the other week, when I took my mother in to see it in May.  The author takes a lot of her inspiration from the sky and clouds etc.   Best wishes to all you feltettes.
