Hello

Make-a-Long with Mike!

January 28, 2009

Tree collection, originally uploaded by Kup, Kup Land.

February starts the beginning of a year long craft project on this very blog! You can join in each month – or all year – or not at all – just do what will suit you!

Look at this lovely Felt piece from Kup Kup Land on Flickr! How beautiful is it? Do you wish you could get Felty like Kup Kup did? Well you can, because luckily, this month’s Make-a-Long theme is FELT!

So, to take part, you need to make something with FELT! Anything you like! Post details of your felt project on your blog – and link back to this post when you have FELTED UP! So then we can all see! Your project could be 2D or 3D, for wearing or looking at, cute or scary… or whatever!

You should add the little badge – (above) – to your blog if you are going to Make-a-Long with felt this month – (and make it link back to this post). I’ll be putting a list up there of FELTY people who are playing. You can join in ANY TIME during the month of February.

You can upload images each month to the Flickr Pool – could you please tag any images you add to the pool with the MONTH and the THEME (eg February, Felt).

And last of all – COMMENT on those uploaded Flickr Photos! The image that receives the highest number of positive comments will win a Mike’s prize pack (to the value of $70) each month.


Edit – TOTALLY OPEN TO INTERNATIONAL READERS! Join UP!

Edit – You can win these too!

Awrighty. Hope all that makes sense! Join in when and how you like! Looking foward to seeing all the Felty good stuff!

xx Pip

Hurrah!

    I AM too late! But I couldn’t resist posting a link anyway. Working with felt is one of my favourite things, next to paper… thank you for April’s theme – I’m onto it!
