Oh dear, time seems to be flying at the moment. I am currently working on reviews for the December issue of Workshop on the Web, and I'm very excited to be working with a selection of Wonderfil threads, Brusho sprays, transfer paper and some fabulous Aarti J trims. You will find them under products. I won't be able to put my pictures on the blog though!
Aside from that though, I have been doing a few of my own lovely things. Taking inspiration from Paula Watkins and her fantastic Herts Open Studios that were on recently, I have decided to revisit the felt panel that I made in Paula's felt class in June (seems like yesterday) and get on with it.
I painted my background with a coral silk paint (my most favourite colour) and then stencilled a flower design using a Crafter's Workshop stencil. Then I melted it away with the heat gun, and left a lovely pattern. I need to find where my piccie of the melted piece is. It might be in the Hard Drive of Horror (my computer files).
I also painted some coral coloured cotton that I have. I loved this and will need to do a bit of stitching to make it even more wonderful. But my favourite bit was the back (not something I usually big up as there's usually a mass of threads and it's the place where I hide my mistakes!). The paint had embossed the fabric. Now I'm not sure what to sew and what to hide....
My other exciting news is that I have some new threads for crocheting! My lovely brother bought them for me. I have done a few bits with them (their purchase in turn necessitated some new tiny crochet hooks).
They are Lisbeth Cordonnet Threads size 20. I saw a pattern for a necklace in the Vogue Crochet 2012 magazine and found some in the UK. Hurrah! Will take some pictures of what I've done and post those. See a theme emerging for this post on colour?? They are also all coral or coral related...
