TheMoonGoat

As I step back into selling my art, I find myself moving slowly and feeling each moment that I take to make this art. What an honor and what a relieve it is to create.

I have two books!! The first one is very true story of making a gnome everyday in a year that changed my life. THE GNOME PROJECT: One Woman's Wild and Woolly Adventure is available everywhere books are sold.
The second is a children's book from Crown Publisher's called I'M A GNOME a humorous adventure told by a gnome who believes he is so very different from all the other magical creatures in the world- or is he? We may proclaim our differences but, in fact, we are all more similar than we can imagine. It's all about what brings us together.

I love this and got lots of compliments. Then I lost it somewhere, so I have to buy another :( Anyhoo-- well-crafted and reasonably priced and very lovely Update: May 28- after hearing I misplaced my lovely poppy pin, the owner kindly sent me a free replacement as a sweet surprise. Totally made my month; am wearing it right now, and hopefully will stop losing special things. Thank you!

Felting is one of those things that burrows into you and inspires creativity.

I started felting almost 30 years ago. Back then it was all about the wet felting. I felted gnomes and balls and a couple tapestries but wet felting didn't let me get much detail in there, though the form is lovely. Then about 20 years ago I found needle felting. That's when things really began to shift. Since then I have had to shift the ways I make art after encountering some physical limitations but I continue to make art is many different ways- painting, felting, sewing, etc. It keeps shifting and moving - just like life.

I encourage you to make art as often as possible. It may surprise you and best of all- you may surprise yourself.

I'm a mother of four & have always believed that art is more important than people imagine. I spend a lot of time felting like a fiend & cuddling my children. But a life without felting never feels quite the same as one with it....
