Your Podcasts

I am so glad that I found your podcasts. The things that you make are so unique and lovely. It is so helpful to see the entire process especially the in-between steps. Sometimes I just can't see how the mess in the middle is going to come out looking so nice in the end. I am afraid to say that many of my projects have just been dropped in the middle because I can't see how I am going to "fix" it. A couple more episodes and I just might have the courage to do a collage piece. Thank you for sharing. Rachelle

podcasts

Just found your podcasts- they are great and you explain everthing very well. I want to make the felted bowl. I also want to learn how to participate in a swap, but am a little scared. Where are the links to the ones you are in?

Awesome project!!

You've done it again. This project is truly awesome and may be my very favorite! I love it, love it , love it!!! I haven't tried the Tim Holtz Grungeboard yet but have seen you use it before on the cuff. I really need to get some and try this project out. I just need more hours in the day. Thanks, Linda

This was great!!

I love this project. I have gotten a pretty good collection of atc's now and have just been storing them in a basket. I think this will be a great way to display them! Thanks Michelle!
