It's September! Which means our first WSW weaving gathering--
always a delight to be with these gals--makes my head swim
with so many ideas and techniques I should try!
Of course, there was a summer of learning with
new workshops.
Fern took a felting class couple months ago and
made this adorable rabbit!
He's so cute with his big ears
and funny toes
She even did some needle felting with a new found friend--
Another workshop she did was silk painting--using
unusual materials
The surface is made with bubble wrap and underlay is
using plastic cleaner bags
The trim was done with shaving cream soap and stencils--
what fun!
Connie loves to stitch so she spent her summer
using needle and thread to stitch grids on her
linen fabric--then pulled up the threads before
indigo dyeing the fabric
Such precision to get such fine lines with her thread
She was also doing clamping techniques on
these linen/cotton towels
Nice lines and creative design
Pat showed her eco-dyed linen--asking for suggestions
on what to do next--we suggest some embroidery work and use
the fabric for a pillow
Penny was a sole weaver this summer! She had natural colored
cotton on the loom to produce several hand towels--the handle
of the towel is so soft--these will go on her sale table.
