Heart Strings - the completed Tapestry

It's taken a while to get this posted but it's finally here! I was so excited to give this to my friend that I forgot to take a photo of it when I finished it. We managed to meet up the other night and the photos were taken. So, without any further delay, may I present...

Close up of pre-felt heart - click for full size

I had some leftover red felt from a hat I made and used that for the hearts in this piece. That way I could get a properly shaped heart that wouldn't distort during the felting process. I am very happy with the way this turned out!

Felt Art - "Creation"

A small wall hanging I call "Creation". We are all spiritual beings tapping into the consciousness of the Creator and "creating" all the time. What are you creating today?

 

Love is Everywhere

I've been seeing a lot of hears in nature lately. This time I had my camera :D

Do Your Part to Help Animals - Sign Petitions

Here are some petitions that will help protect animals. Please do your part to help by signing them. They are easily accessible online.

1. Tell eBay To Stop Supporting Puppy Mills

While the Internet has become a great place for shelters and rescues to network and get the word out about animals who need homes, it’s also become a place for unscrupulous individuals to sell pets. eBay’s plans to sell animals via live auction were nixed by activists, but now they allow puppy mills to sell dogs in their classified section.

Sign the petition telling eBay to shut down sales of dogs and other live animals.

2. Protect Wolves and the Endangered Species Act

Bills have been introduced that would exempt wolves, who are already struggling to survive, from federal protection under the Endangered Species Act. This would be the first time an animal would be exempted and would set a dangerous precedent for other animals in need of protection.

Send a letter to your representative asking them to protect wolves and the Endangered Species Act.

3. Protect Pets from Domestic Violence

A bill has been introduced in Virginia that would add pets to protective orders filed by victims of domestic abuse. Nationwide studies have shown that up to 40 percent of battered women can’t leave abusive situations because they worry about what will happen to their companion animals. An even higher percentage of women report that their abusers have threatened, injured and killed their pets for revenge or to control them. Victims should not have to make the choice between saving themselves and their children or saving their pets.

Sign the petition urging Virginia legislators to pass this bill to protect families and companion animals.
