I FELT inspired

After leaving my writing class, I walked around the craft show in Ocean Grove, NJ. I was left with the challenge of writing for thirty days. I have decided to write about Artists and friends who inspire me. I am going to start with Artists who use felt as their primary medium. I was blown away by this Artist I saw on Saturday. I was amazed at the amount of work she created. And, her prices were very good for the amount of work that goes into each item. We chatted for quite awhile. She said she has been doing this, since the age of thirteen. I loved to hear this. She also has owned stores, and even had a store in a mall. The store was mostly handpainted furniture that she would personalize. I was comparing her to an Artist from London, but I was so happy she is a fellow jersey girl. What I liked most about her booth was how she captured the comfy feeling of felt. The way she displayed her creations made it feel very welcoming. I especially loved how colorful it was. I have decided to decorate my Christmas tree with felt this year, because of how light they are. And, it was very windy that day, and one of the fixtures fell down. No worries, there! I love handmade, but I hate when I chip or break anything that was made for me. And, especially at Christmas, I would hate unwrapping another broken ornament each year. So, I can't wait to visit her etsy shop to find some ornaments for my tree. You can check out her shop here: Kidknee bean etsy shop
