Have you heard? My friend Jenny has moved on from Stampington and is launching a new online venture, Crescendoh.com. Look for it March 1st. I was honored to create one of the logos, for her Art Saves campaign. She will be spreading the word, through personal stories, of how Art Saves. Until the site goes live you can follow her blog HERE.
We all know how creativity has enriched our lives. We each have our own story. In fact, we each have many stories. There are the epic tales that include our full history of how art made a difference in our life, and/or continues to fulfill us. There are also abbreviated versions that are just as important – maybe how one little project turned into something bigger than itself. Or how we made connections to new people through art. Or how being an artist helped us through something, or enabled us make an impact on another. If I were to pick one story for myself…..well, that would be hard.
But this is easy….showing how being creative made a difference as I shared a new experience with my daughter Fallon and her friend Lindsey. Art Saved a sleepover from becoming just another Friday night.

We've had a winged heart on our door for years. The hook broke from the plaster yesterday….no way to repair. I picked up a paper mache puffy heart and did some sketches in my journal to study how I might want to finish it. I went with all black. I have a second one that I will take more time to work on…but I had to get something up right away. I missed having a heart on our door.

I'm teaching myself some new tricks. I love exploring a new craft. I really believe that trying new things gives you ideas that you can bring to your old things. The latest: needle felting. I can't knit….but in 3 seconds I taught myself how to felt. You can't stop me now.
It's interesting that you can be surrounded by treasured items that have beauty and sentiment but later take on another role as inspiration just because of a shift in perspective, or an awareness. Once I started thinking about wool I ordered these handsome acorns from Fairyfolk. And I opened the Love Book to Kristen's lovely page, and I pulled out my felted bag from Marie. Then I tooled around on youtube and found THIS. Who wouldn't want to try something like this? Sure, it took some supplies….I found those online HERE.More from youtube: a video from Rice where she shows you additional things to do with needle felting. HERE. It's endless. I great craft to practice during football games….you can produce many items in one sitting. When it's too cold to be in my studio I can sit at the table and felt.
Do you felt? Tell us about it!!
