</div>One of the most challenging projects for me to needlefelt is gnome women. They don't have beards to hide their faces, so much time is spent on details. I love the way their faces are all different. Up until today, I have only made three gnomey-ones of the female persuasion......<br />

It sounds pretty straightforward....<br />
<br />
I bought a new photo printer last spring, and was thinking about card and calendar production the whole time. <br />
<br />
I made calendars for family and close friends last year, and was quite happy with the result. I printed them on some great cotton paper. <br />
When I went to print cards to sell last week, however, the pre-cut and sized cards I had purchased seemed to wick up the printer ink, and the colors came out dull. It seemed the same on regular cardstock, which is what I usually have printed on.<br />
I had some high quality matte presemntation paper that the colors came out positively glowing, but it isn't stiff enough for cards.<br />

</div>I did some research, and saw that some artists are printing their cards on linen textured cover stock -- I guess a trip to Staples is in order!!!<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, I printed some small versions of my seasonal artwork, and have them in my shop.....<br />
<br />

One wooly ratty was shipped this week, and there are five other "small ones" waiting to go.<br />
I don't like to coop them up in the plastic box, but if I don't they may run around and get dirty or lost!<br />

</div>I decided it is still a while to Solstice, so I made him a messenger mouse. It took me a while to remember how i made the messenger bags. <br />

</div><div style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>It is time to start doing creative indoor things. It is getting too cold to go out in the gardens, and I feel the pull of needing to CREATE. Every year it seems to be the same dilemma -- all of my materials come out to the dining room table, and then they STAY there, creating a very messy atmosphere. I am trying to make a place just for working on my artwork.... There isn't a spare room for a studio, so I have taken over half of the living room.</b></span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #b6d7a8; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>I went today to a local second hand store called "Scavengers" and found a great worktable! I was looking for something that would fit my space that was washable and very sturdy. It has a porcelain or enamel top on heavy metal, with two "leaves" that can pull out from either side to increase the space. It was $65.00. </b></span><br />
