We have another new member, Yvonne from Urunga, south of
Coffs.
I met Yvonne years ago when I first moved here. Am very
happy to catch up with you again, Yvonne. Join in when you are ready.
There are 2 other members pending I am just waiting to hear
where they are from and their names. Some don’t reply when I ask them, I
just decide they are spammers and disallow their membership. Hope this is ok
with everyone.
I'll put my hand up for this too! Natalie & I have started school together and one of our subjects is textiles - perhaps this could be one of our projects???
Put simply, everyone participating felts a scarf, we send them to a central address then we receive a scarf back made lovingly by someone else. Feel free to add or correct me anyone.
I would be interested too but I'm not sure how it works.

My apologies for not being in touch lately. I fell off my perch for a while but am back on now, at least I think so. Welcome to any new members I may have missed.
The weather is getting cooler and I have been felting. Even though it is hot today.
I have made 4 laminated shawls this week. I just love seeing how they will turn out. I have also made some felt to make small booties with, they are sooo cute but a little bit time consuming.
Have also made some needlefelted beads for bracelets and earrings, they look very funky.
Any one discovered any new books or information that might be of interest to the group.
Sandie what is the online course you are doing? It sounds interesting.
Dianne, your hats are fantastic, I am sure I only taught you the bag? The student has far surpassed the teacher, well done, great work.
Ardione, I think you are right. It is time for a scarf swap. If you want to do it and have the time, that’s fine, if you would prefer, I am happy to take over. Let me know what you would like to do.

I for one, would be really keen for a scarf swap......after all, it is coming up to winter, and all you girls over in the east, more particularly down the south will be looking forward to having more scarves to add to your collection. It has been a long time since we had our last one, and I am ready and raring to go.
Must be great fun running around after the boys. I am lucky to have three girls in the one school at the moment, right near work, and the other still at home.
Just lets not make the close date before four weeks, as I am now at school doing art two days and my three boys are all at three different schools this year and by the time I get home and feed ALL /clean the animals and feed us its late.lol
Hugs Nat who likes to have he cake and eat it too lol
I was wondering who was interested in a scarf swap?? What do you think Krishna? If you are too busy to do the posting etc I am happy to do it , you just might have to tell me what to do.

AM To: anne gilbey Subject: 22 Feb 08 - NO FUEL
Petrol
Prices
They did this in England and it actually worked,
petrol prices never ever
rose past a pound a litre again . . .
Remember Feb 22nd!
PASS IT ON - Aussies
Getting our own back! FEb 22 - NO FUEL
IT HAS BEEN CALCULATED THAT IF EVERYONE IN AUSTRALIA DID NOT PURCHASE
A
DROP OF PETROL FOR ONE DAY AND ALL AT THE SAME TIME, THE OIL
COMPANIES
WOULD
CHOKE ON THEIR STOCKPILES .
AT THE SAME TIME IT WOULD HIT THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY WITH
A
NET LOSS OVER 4 . 6 BILLION DOLLARS WHICH AFFECTS THE BOTTOM LINES OF
THE
OIL
COMPANIES .
THEREFORE FRIDAY FEBRUARY 22nd HAS BEEN
FORMALLY
DECLARED ‘STICK IT UP THEIR ASS DAY’ AND THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION
SHOULD
NOT
BUY A SINGLE DROP OF PETROL THAT DAY . THE ONLY WAY THIS CAN BE DONE IS
IF
YOU FORWARD THIS E-MAIL TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN AND AS QUICKLY
AS YOU CAN TO GET THE WORD OUT .
WAITING FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO STEP IN AND CONTROL
THE
PRICES ? IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN . WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REDUCTION
AND
CONTROL IN PRICES THE ARAB NATIONS PROMISED LONG
AGO?
THE PRICES JUST KEEP GOING UP AND WE NEED TO STOP IT PETROL PRICES
ARE
CAUSING OTHER
EFFECTS;
AIRLINES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES, AS ARE TRUCKING COMPANIES .
THIS INCREASES PRICES
ON
EVERYTHING THAT IS SHIPPED . THINGS LIKE FOOD,
CLOTHING,
BUILDING SUPPLIES MEDICAL SUPPLIES ETC . WHO PAYS IN THE END? WE DO! WE
CAN
MAKE A DIFFERENCE . IF THEY DON'T GET THE MESSAGE AFTER ONE DAY,WE WILL
DO
IT
AGAIN AND AGAIN . SO DO YOUR PART AND SPREAD THE WORD . FORWARD THIS
EMAIL
TO
EVERYONE YOU KNOW . MARK YOUR CALENDARS
AND
MAKE
FEBRUARY
22nd
THE DAY CITIZENS OF AUSTRALIA SAY 'ENOUGH IS ENOUGH'

Hello felters,
On another group I suscribe to, someone is selling a
Janome xpression. Good Price including postage.
Anyone interested? Have just come back from Perth.
Gosh was it hot! Believe or not every where on the
way home was hot including Augusta!! . e-mail me
for the details of the Janome if anyone is interested.
Meg
Get the name you always wanted with the new y7mail email address.
www.yahoo7.com.au/y7mail
I've just posted some hat pictures, some new, some not so new.
The newsboy style is made on a vintage puzzle block. I have two blocks the same style and I would like to sell one. It is in excellent shape, would make a man's size. Email me if you are interest.
I was wondering what size piece of silk most people start with to felt a shawl.?? I keep thinking and rethinking this. I know a lot depends on the amount of fibre you lay on it etc. Maybe I am thinking too hard today and need to leave it for a few days.
Just had a look at Julies hats on the site. The black you used in some has a wonderful shine to it. Just gorgeous.
Subject: [AussieFeltmakers] is everyone still outthere
Hi everyone,
The emailing seems to have gone very quite suddenly. What is everyone up to??
A friend just got a book out of the library for me, Felted Jewellery by candie cooper. Very inspiring . While I was looking on the internet about her I came across a site called STRONG FELT if anyone hasn't seen this it is really worth a look. I fell in love with a lot of her bags I loved the magnificent simplicity and subtle ways she used the textures in muted colours on some of them I'm off to think about it now.

>I've had to trash a lot of unread mail as life ganged up on me, so
>is there a website that I can go look at for this thing in Orange?
Started teaching my Fun with Fibre course yesterday, they made silk
paper then made a bowl with it but was not easy as there was no sun
only rain and the hairdryer didn't dry it nice and crisply like the
sun does so it was separating a little with handling, will put photo
on the blog in the next day or two.
Next month they will make a faux felted scarf, samples re on my
website class flyer if anyone is interested in looking
cheers

Hi Pat
Good to hear things are going well for you! Would love to go to Orange but
with family it's still not an option yet, though with them both in h igh
school it's getting closer. Had planned to go and then they moved it from
Mittagong, probably by the time I can go they will disband or move even
further away!! :-(
I am in week 4 of a 12 week course and it has been challenging but great.
We are given a topic for the week and then 4 assignment questions relating
to the notes we are given. We then post our assignment at the end of the
week and can discuss amongst each other on a notice board. We have been
exploring personality types, depression how we value our work, ourselves
and our space. it appears pretty easy but the challenging part is that you
really are self assessing and that can be sometimes confronting.
As an artist who hooked into the commercial side, like so many of us on
this list, I found I lost something of my creative self in meeting
customers needs. It has been my work that has slowly suffered and in turn
myself. This course has been great for redefining myself and what I want to
do. I have been more productive this past month and the jaded feeling has
almost disappeared. There is life at the end of the tunnel!! :-)
It is not a cheap course but so far fo me money worth spending, its a tax
expense anyway.
Got to go, goof luck at Orange.
Cheers
Sandie :-)
hi Ardione
How are you???
i'm still around just quiet like everyone else I guess!!!
Been busy getting girls back to school and have been taking part in an
online course for textile artists in creativity.
i have that book by Candie Cooper, its a great book, good for ideas! Have
also seen Lisa Klakulaks site before, love her sculptures and her bags!!
Better go have an assignment to finish.
Take care
Sandie ;-)
