One World One Heart 2011 This year I am participating in One World One Heart. This is the 5th and last year for it to run and I seem to have missed the previous years but in 2011 I am thrilled to be part of it all. For those who don't know me, I am a  practising textile artist born in New Zealand with a pair of knitting needles in my hands and these days living and working in Western Australia. I love to experiment with all manner of textile excitements working on both fabric and paper and with my needlefelting machine. This piece of work is from my Flower Power series - I don't sell my work - it's like losing part of your soul but I am happy to part with this little book (it has pages inside) to one lucky person from whoever leaves a comment. I have written a book on using the needlefelting machine (Surface Tension)  and run on-line courses on this topic (and others)

I shall be drawing one name from the list of comments on 17th Feb so do take part - leave your blog addy so I can visit you and enjoy the rest of my blog and my adventures - here, on my facebook pages and on my business website. Because I have over 100 comments (thank you all very much), I have added another little book - I have shown the front and the back and inside there is more. This is from my little house series. Feel free to leave a comment.

That is gorgeous! I just love the colours you've used.

10:15 AM Hi Dale. I really love your sense of colour. I'm finding as I get older I'm increasingly draw to more vibrant colours, quite the opposite to expected. I'd love to own this piece of your work, so please include me in your lucky draw.

Have a good break in Bali.
