We were short on members this time .We had loose ends and last minute ‘to do ‘ for Found to
sort out .Even so we managed to bring along some interesting things.Sue is continuing her journey with painting and brought along some examples of papers created with Rita Dee , www.ritadeeart.co.uk
They use tissue ,paint ,acrylic and alcohol ink on the surface.Some have been randomly applied and one in stripes.
Scrim has been added to the final one making for an interesting textured surface .Theses will form the under layer of a painting adding surface interest.
Jenn and Fumi had joined in the TextileArtist free stitch club workshop given by Deb Cooper www,debcoopertextileart.com.You were encouraged to create a piece of fabric using up small fabric pieces and oddments of ribbon and lace . Over this you hand stitch using various weights of thread and types of stitch ,as fancy as you like.The next stage was to tie these up in bundles then make hot strong tea and put in a jam jar to steep .After 24hours take out and leave to dry naturally before unrolling .
A further version was to add rusty objects to the bundle and do as before .Jenn and Fumi haven’t quite got there yet but maybe next month we shall see the results.
Fumi wanted some feedback on where she might put her initial on the piece above ,and what we thought about her handmade packaging for her hand made jewellery.
