MousePants Art Meets Holiday Crafts

I am so pleased to announce that MousePants has been selected to participate in the 2013 issue of Better Homes and Gardens Holiday Crafts, on newsstands August 13, 2013.  I recreated one of my most popular and requested pieces, Farah the Fawn, with a bit of a Victorian Christmas touch for the magazine.  I want to thank the editorial staff of Holiday Crafts for reaching out to me and commissioning the piece as well as everyone who supported me during the hectic time of meeting the tight deadlines for the piece and the accompanying tutorial.  There will be a large photo of Farah along with step-by-step directions so readers can recreate her at home.  One of the best parts of being an artist is sharing my skill and passion for my craft with others, and I hope that this piece inspires a few people to take up felting needles or to aspire to more complicated felt pieces.  I would be honored if you, my friends, family, customers, and blog readers, would buy a copy of the magazine and check it out.  I will eventually reveal photos of the finished piece, but for now, I am keeping it under wraps.  Thank you all again for your support during the difficult and exciting transitions over the past year and look for many new felties in my Etsy shop to celebrate this occasion.  As always, please feel free to message me on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/MousePants and on Etsy at https://www.etsy.com/shop/MousePants . xoxoxo, MJ
