A Camp Dainava totem pole.
Our 'graduation ceremony' with Pam MacGregor, Chad Alice Hagen, Elis Vermeulen, and Jone Rakoski presiding.
I spent last week in Manchester, Michigan at the 2nd Annual Creative Felt Gathering...
...and, as usual, it was awesome!
I had a chance to catch up with dear old friends, make some new ones...
...and learn lots and lots of felting tips and techniques!
Everyone there was a talented feltmaker in his/her own right...
...and the energy and creative 'aura' of the group was palpable!!
I returned home filled to the brim with good will and fellowship...
...and inspiration enough for a thousand new projects!!
Next time: What I made at camp! Giggle.
