Needlefelt follows exactly the same principles as dreadlocks! In fact the same wool I use for my toys is also sold for false 'dreads'. So your analogy was quite correct. :)
So true! A friend of mine said to me something very, very similar many years ago. I listened to "if you can imagine yourself doing it, it will happen", and remembering that advice, I carved my way out of being a waitress/barmaid/Mrs Tiggywinkle ornament painter, into a children's book illustrator! Is she planning on a creative career? I bet she'll be pleased as punch with that pressie, how lovely, lovely! I've not commented in a while, but I have been dropping in. I've been enjoying so much the lore and stories. May I recommend 'the folklore of plants' by shire publishing...it's great!
When I visit here I always leave inspired by either your beautiful art or, today, with wonderful words to share with my 17-year-old son...words for him to take at heart as he follows his bliss. Thank you Rima!
I love your quote. Quite a gift. It takes one of my favorites one step further: "I believe in all things visible and invisible," from the Nicene Creed.
Hello lovely people who feel to leave words here... I am always so chuffed to read what you all have to say and read every single word with a smile :) Thank you for your encouragements and thoughts.... Rima
A GIFT for a friend who has just turned 18...
