This month, I'm honored to be the guest artist, and I'll be giving away one of my lions, made from a felted, recycled wool sweater and fringed t-shirt jersey.
For those who've ended up here via the other blogs, a little about me: I work mostly in recycled fabrics, partly because I hate waste and also because it's a good way to keep material costs down; lots of people would like to buy handmade, but sometimes the price can be prohibitive (because time and talent takes money, right?). This way, I can keep a lot of fabric out of the landfill, keep myself out of a cubicle and still make things that most people can afford to take home.
If you'd like to enter the drawing for my little lion, please leave a comment on the blog. After you've done that, you might want to meander over to some of the other blogs involved in this monthly giveaway -- there are some wonderful artists participating, and I'm flattered to be a part of them this month.
I'll pick a winner on Thursday and post the announcement here. Good luck!
EDITED TO ADD: If you comment as "Anonymous," you have to leave your real name and an email in the comments. I have two comments so far from Anonymous and I don't want you left out of the giveaway. Also, for the commenter who wanted to know where she could buy a lion if she doesn't win, here's the link.

Karen this is so adorBle. My 1st grandson is due to arrive in September and I would so love to win this for him
I enjoy your blog and your lovely animals & garments, especially since you use upcycled materials. Your lion would be a lovely gift for my newborn next-door neighbor!
I would love to give this lion to my friends' newborn daughter. Very cute.
Who doesn't crave a stuffed animal?
What a wonderful lion!
LOVE the lion and if I would be so fortunate to win it, would happily give it to my Grand Lady. She is 2 1/2 years old and loves all animals, especiall the wild ones! I'm happy to part of your give away... Happy continued sewing and creating to you!
What a cute little guy! Thanks for being so very creative!
If I don't win this for my lovely grand daughter whose e-mail address is lionluver. then how can I purchase one of your "other" lions??? Charming piece!!!
If I won, I would keep it for myself. I have grandchildren, but they have all the stuffed animals they need. I'm not lion ing.
This sweet lion is very appealing. Love its face! I would be very pleased to offer it a new home.
I want him for myself!
Karen, the lion is beautiful. I would love to have it to give it as a gift to a friend who needs comforting. Thank you for the opportunity.

Hi: I know the perfect little five month old baby boy that I would love to give this to! Best, Robin
I have a new grandson who would love your lion...
Your lion is utterly charming. I have a 3 year old granddaughter who would be thrilled to own it.
I'd love for him to be my Lion King!
I would love for him to be my Lion King!
So nice to be introduced to your wonderful work by Maria Wulf. Love the lion, here's hoping for a win. All the best!
Oh, how cute is he!! I would love to give him a good home.
You are creating some wonderful pieces. And the lion only being one. Wishing you much continued success!
How wonderful for little ones to have a stuffed animal that is not made or stuffed with something that may be toxic! And he's such a handsome (I dare not say cute, for he is a lion, after all:) fella!
My astronomy sign is Leo - the Lion. How wonderful if I would win this for my 72nd b/d on the 26th. Love the beautiful talent you have.

What a wonderful Lion. I'd love to see him on my desk top at work, where he would cheer me every day.
I love him! I would find it hard to give him away but I have a wee person who I know would love him well.
