Felt-a-licious Giveaway!

I have ALWAYS adored wool. Especially felted wool. The texture. The weight. The yummy. :) I've always been a little jealous of those crafty mamas who knew the "secrets" of felting wool. But now...I am going to join that inner circle :) And so can you! I have ONE SPOT to give away for Emily's "Felt-a-licious" online course. Yay!

Em is teaming up with Nicole, who has tons of experience with wool. You do NOT want to miss this. It's going to be so great! I'm really looking forward to working on the projects with Bella and learning this cool new skill alongside my creative daughter. I ordered the "Autumn" kit from Nicole's Etsy shop...the colors are so yummy. However, today (the 19th) is the LAST day to order wool from her shop for it to make it to you in time. If you miss the deadline, you can always source your own wool or join in late.

Here is a little more info in Emily's words:

WORKSHOP DETAILS:

This is a fantastical, fun introduction to felting! During the course you will be shown the nitty-gritty of what turns fluffy piles of wool into magical felted goods.With that knowledge you will be guided to make several variations of felt for our projects: round felt beads, a layered felt flower, a flat felt scarfette and a dimensional felt mobile-phone pouch.

Armed with your new skills you will be ready to felt your little hearts out (warning: felting is higly addictive!) and fall in love with this delicious artform. Even if you have felted before, this workshop is definitely going to have you saying "AH-HA!" THE WORKSHOP WILL RUN FROM NOV 26 - DEC 4

There will be four core 'lessons' during the course (video and photo format), tips and tricks from the gurus, a gallery to share your creations, and two live chats with Nicole and Emily. You will be able to work at your own pace, downloading the project information at your leisure. The classroom will remain 'open' until the end of 2010.
