Felt as a symbol of world unity

I have just got wind of a really positive world-wide felt project - Peacefelt.



The organisers say the vision is to "connect every country in an energetic circle of peace, unconditional love and gratitude. For peace to be 'felt' in hearts across the world."



The process of making and the finished felt product is used as a symbol of untity, that brings together different strands of society in the modern world .
