Subject: RE: [AussieFeltmakers] Tips!

HI Meg and other feltettes,

Thanks for the tips.

Anyone else got any great ideas.

I haven’t been doing too much felting, just making dreadlocks and a couple of needlefelted mermaids.

Mainly sewing and trying to finish a few things that have been hanging around for just too long.

All the best.

Hello out there!
How is everyone?  Felting I hope.  I have been sorting
out my craft bookcase and found some old newsletters
from various places. One was from from  S.A. I think
it was Ing Evers or Inge Flint. Does anyone know?
Julie would. Felt tips was one of there articles and I
thought that I would pass them on.  Keeping champagne
cold!   Wrapping round  bycycle handle bars for
comfort!  Making a cooler bag for bringing ice cream
home from the shops! Not sure about that one. There
were more, but another time! Am using the embellisher
and have made a bag with wool  decorationson the
front.  Meg in warmish Augusta!

Janine the new work looks great, excellent use of the embellisher. Haven't been using mine much lately. Been machine embroidering instead, too hot today for much at all.

Keep up the excellent work.

hello everyone,
have just posted a piece on my blog that I've been trying to make for a while,
haven't been very vocal on the list, as Yahoo lists don't like my
blog address but it is now linked to my website which Yahoo likes so
now I won't end up in spam boxes never to see the light of day again

cheers - let me know what you think

Hey there Curli!!  We do pop up together all over the place – it’s really nice to see a familiar face here…..especially yours.  I do have my Xpression, but it is being neglected, like everything else at the moment.   The spiders have even spun their webs on it!!!  Oh, maybe I could use the webs in my felting (lol)……

Thanks so much Natalie and Krishna for the lovely welcome!  I just stumbled upon this group, and was a “little” excited, as it’s so nice to be in an Aussie group.    I’ve made a few wet felted items, including a seamless bag, vessel, mobile phone pouches and a couple of scarves.  I’d like to make a teapot cosy next……       Haven’t done any felting though for a few months now – ‘cause of the time it takes…..   I did do a course with Polly Stirling – now she is amazing!!!!!

Thanks for having me in the group.

Hi Krishna and all,

My name is Bonnie and I live in Caboolture, Queensland Australia. Normally
it would be very hot at this time of year BUT we have had one "tropical
low", not quite a cyclone but almost, and are preparing for another "low",
so there has been lots of rain and wind.

I just bought my Huskystar embellisher today and have been on the net
looking for advice etc so am open to all ideas etc

I belong to a local quilting group and also volunteer at the Australian
Wildlife Hospital and at the moment am caring for 3 possums - 2 that were
orphaned and one that has a bad case of possum dermatitis.

Regards,

Bonnie

Some inspiration ?!         Felting's of wonderful faces? Or flowers like this email background? -this seasons kids/ragdoll x  Himalayan kittens.       Maybe a really soft silk wrap with fading flowers. Maybe a really bright wall hanging or coat with odd shapes from pre felts. Try a hat is that's what you like or get a beach ball and stocking and felt a vessel. I go for walks around the bush and find ideas popping out of my head! Lol I have to carry a book with me. Take a look at your town or city's  buildings and amaze yourself with their pattens and sometimes odd  shapes. Carol and I went to a paper show and on root stopped  to look at the wonderful new buildings around  port Melbourne, I got lots of ideas.   Books are great... Like the one I just got that the U.S list is going on about Uniquely Felt . Have fun Hugs Nat       -------Original Message-------   From: Mark & Krishna Ellis Date: 1/1/2008 5:42:14 PM To: AussieFeltmakers@yahoogroups.com.au Subject: RE: [AussieFeltmakers] HAPPY NEW YEAR!   Hi Ardione, I had friends that went to Woodford, girls I taught to make felted belly dancing belts. Shame about the weather.   I am sure we all feel discouraged. I just think about how much I enjoy handling the lovely fibres and the surprise when you dry a piece of felt and see how it turned out. Also felting books, felting blogs and looking at felting websites on the net can help you to feel inspired. Don’t give up and don’t be too hard on yourself, we all have down times. Sometimes it helps just to have a rest and do something else for a while.

Hello Bonnie,
   Welcome to the feltettes!!!   I have a Janome
xpression and am still practicing with it!  Today is
the day to really get going. All quiet on the Western
front. Except for the tourists hogging all the parking
spaces. Reasonably warm here where it is usually
windy.   Queensland  is having it's share of rain I
see. Meg in Augusta W.A.
