I have holiday from May 15.-24. You can still order books, but I will not be able to send them until I am back from holiday.

After having worked with my wolf project for half a year it is now ready for the exhibition "NORTHERN LIGHT" in the town Hobro in Denmark
together with 19 feltmakers from all the countries in Scandinavia who will exhibit their work. All is arranged of the group VALENKI which members are Merete Stoltze, Tove Alsner,Inger Mortensen and Anne Markers.The opening is the17.-20. of May.

During the years I get many e-mails, telling about how you can use the needle felting. Now I got two e-mails that I find so interesting that I want to show them to you and I have got the permission to that from Linda Mosmann from Germany who wrote these e-mail about how she uses the needle felting with a group of people suffering from alzheimer. You can read the article if you click on "article" at the menu.

Like last month this month the “doll” is not for sale because this wolf relief is a part of a theme I have made for an exhibition I am invited to join.

At last I can write about this quite new machine that Jessica von der Fecht from Germany has invented. The machine is a little hand-tool called "addiQuick" that can felt 3-D and it will be in production from September.
It is really a typical invention story with all the troubles, hopes and disappointments you can imagine.
Jessica has worked on the machine for 4 years and contacted me a year ago to ask if I would judge her machine if it could be of any use for me. She came to me here in Denmark to demonstrate her machine and I tried it. I was a little doubtfull if I could use it, but when I tried it I could see that it was not only saving me for many movements of my hand, but it was also able to give another needling effect than you can with your own movements because it works so very fast with the needle, so you can move it sidewards like a painting brush. I will still work with the needle in my hand, but I am sure this machine will be useful for many things.

I am so gratefull after getting a very welcome parcel with 2.500 stirring straws from USA. I use those straws to make fingers on and to bend shapes over and it is not possible to get this size of straw in Denmark. For a long time I have saved the few I had left but now my wonderfull private student Kathy Frank from New Zeeland sent me this parcel with 2.500 when she was on a visit to USA on her way home. Now I can even give the straws to my students. Funny that one can be so glad for something.

Doll of the month is a woman who has dressed herself in a very tight woolly dress, so you can see all her shapes very clearly.

It has really been a flying start I have got on having private students at my workshop. A week after that Luigina from Australia had finished her course, then Kathy from Ausralia came and wanted a private course. It is a complete different way of teaching and I look forward to teach the next two students that already have signed.
