Hello everyone, So excited to have found this fantastic forum. I'm a felt artist, chemistry teacher and massive lover of anything crafty, arty and especially woolly. My felt art is inspired by Scottish wildlife and landscapes so lots of red squirrels, deer and recently a Highland cow! Until recently, making felt pictures was a hobby but I have recently started selling my work and at Christmas time decided to take the plunge and make a Facebook page for my work. Iv officially revealed my secret, much to the surprise of work colleagues and some friends who knew me only as a science teacher! It's been terrifying but I've had a very positive response. I also write a blog which featured my work and anything to do with wool or felt. You an find it at www.feltiefare.com if anyone would like to see it You can also view my work on my brand new Facebook page here: www.facebook.com/ShonaCammackTextileArt
Now I'm off to explore some of the amazing work on this forum!
Shona xx

Hello Shona - welcome to the forum. I love your felt art and I expect a lot of people, who only know you as a science teacher, are now very impressed with your fibre talent!
