I feel very welcome by Gina as she has held my hand and given me great guidance to be part of this wonderful group of artisans that specialize in needle felting. Folks who take the time to create the networks and help maintain the communication are amazing. Artisans can become quite secluded at times because they get caught up in their craft. Teams and folks who work with teams to network help light the fire under us, and remind us the art is there for sharing, and encouraging us to share is probably one of the most important things artists do. Sharing allows us to stimulate our imagination, and helps us get feedback about ideas.

What can I say about Gina? Even though we have never met, she is my friend. She is our group (NFEST- Needle Felters Etsy Street Team) leader who someone nicknamed "Our Fearless Leader". Believe me when I tell you, she is all of that and more. She goes above and beyond for everyone. She is always cheerful and … Read more

What can I say about Gina? Even though we have never met, she is my friend. She is our group (NFEST- Needle Felters Etsy Street Team) leader who someone nicknamed "Our Fearless Leader". Believe me when I tell you, she is all of that and more. She goes above and beyond for everyone. She is always cheerful and upbeat, even when I know she is having a bad day. She works nonstop for all of us, promoting, encouraging, lifting spirits, laughing at our antics, sharing our sorrows, and so much more. If it were not for her, we probably would not have this wonderful group that I am so very proud to be a part of.. She started this group with only a few of us, and now have over 100 members with more coming every week! I am in total awe of her and am but one of her many fans. Her art! What a talent she is! Her Woolitures, her sculptures, her sketches, everything-- all totally wonderful. I can see that she loves what she does, and EVERYTHING she makes is done with great care and detail. I am always excited to see what she will come up with next! She is so creative and gifted, She is a true inspiration. Gina, thank you for all you do for us. Thank you for the things you do for us that we don't even know about. Thank you for being you.

Rosethistleartworks is one super lady! She was the first person to welcome me to the internet needlefelting groups on Etsy, and is a great help when I have questions.

Gina is an amazing lady. She does so much for other felt artists and happily promotes everyone's work. She started a needlefelting group on ETSY and google, promoted Flickr to felting friends, even asking artists to join her myspace group. She has promoted so many of us through the treasury on ETSY, grabbing any and all spots she can. She charges forth with all the work needed to run the needlefelting groups and lets us all know about upcoming craft competitions or any other fun stuff where we can promote our items. Her work is outstanding and I can tell she really loves what she does. So I would like to tell her how much I appreciate her and her work, and her art...you must go see for yourself! Debra Poth
