New book: Feltique

There is a new book out about working with felt titled Feltique. I am excited to announce that I have contributed three tutorials to this book. I have not had a chance to see the final product yet, but judging by all the amazing artists that contributed to it, I know it will be fantastic.

The Amazing Moxie Does it Again

One of my favorite needle felting artists, the amazing Moxie, whom I wrote about earlier, has once again wowed me. Her finger puppets make me giggle with glee, and this new fuzzeh one has put me over the top. You can see more of her fantastic needle felted creations on her flickr page. She also has an etsy store.

Interweave Felt magazine

Interweave Knits is coming out with a special edition magazine all about felt called Interweave Felt! It is due to hit the newsstand on July 17th. Yeah!

Felt Cup Cozie

Well, my knit cup cozie project was basicly a failure. In a last ditch effort, I created this one out of a commercial wool blend felt. I cut the fabric with pinking shears and attached the layers together by needle felting in the center purple dot.

Needle felted eyeball tutorial

Whip up featured a great needle felted eyeball tutorial by Lady Linoleum over at Monster Crochet. I am so glad more artists are creating non-traditional designs with this medium.

Moxie's how-to: needle felted finger puppet

The amazing Moxie has created a great photo tutorial on how to make a needle-felted finger puppet. Be sure to check out all of her fantastic finger puppet monsters.
