Out of action......

Hi all, I have been out of action this week with a yukky cold/flu virus (just pleased I had it last week and not next week when I have my much anticipated Art Retreat !!!). But, alas, no art was created this week so you will have to make do with some art I created before I began my blog..... The above are three bird ATC's that were made as part of a swap hosted by the talented Jo Wholohan last year for one of our Yahoo groups. Each person made 3 bird themed ATC's per month and sent to each person on the list. It was a one of my favourite swaps and I received some beautiful ATC's through out the swap.
The above piece is one of the first felted pieces I made when I first bought my Clover hand felter. I made quite a few of these Funky Felted birds for friends and had lots of fun playing with my new tool..... mmmmm must get back into some felting.
Anyways, sorry no new art this week, but just wanted to make sure you had something new to look at if you visited my blog.
My dear friend Shirley, whom I met at my first Art Camp last year in Perth is coming over on Friday !!!! Shirl is doing the Art Retreat in Melbourne with Dot and I.... we girls are going to have FUN, FUN, FUN.
Next week I will get to meet Jo Wholohan, Debbi Baker and a few other bloggers I have met online and through Yahoo groups when we all get together for the Retreat so there will be lots of news coming soon.
Take care and hope you all have a wonderful week.
