Be patient if I don't respond right away. It's summer holidays!

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.
