There has been a great buzz in the fibre arts community about this type of needle felting machine. Many new innovative ways of creating and embellishing are being discovered. I recommend the book "Embellish, Stitch, Felt: Using the Embellisher Machine and Needle-Punch Techniques" by Sheila Smith, for tantalizing info.

As well as participating in the above exhibition, I'm now selling small gift-size fabric art ($60-$120 Canadian) at the Seymour Art Gallery shop, called Treasure Cove. The gallery and gift shop are nestled in the cozy village of Deep Cove, North Vancouver, BC.

Art in the City, and Vancity



Everyone is welcome to stop by and see what's happening at Art in the City 2009!

I have a booth at this fair and I'll be there the whole weekend.

May 1 to May 3, 2009

Friday night is the opening gala. It says private above, but everyone is welcome to join us!

If you're in the neighbourhood, I also have a display of my art at the new Vancity located at the corner of Robson and Denman in Vancouver's West End. It's a block away from the West End Community Centre.
