fabulous fifty

This is what I have been working on...a wall hanging to celebrate my 50th birthday. The background is overdyed sari silk that I have woven and then stitched.  The pictures are ones that I converted from slides and I have printed them on silk.  The knitting was done with silk yarn.  I loved doing the extra stitching over the top, and the small amount of stamping I included.  This took 20 weeks to make, from start to finish.

fabric paper

Yesterday I had a session with some students who had nothing of their own to work on...so we set about to make fabric paper.  The results are great.  I'm going to do some more embellishing on the fabric paper and then make it into one or two project samples.  Next term, the students will make more and then create a project from it.  We are all excited with the prospect...

I'm back!

I haven't been here for ages...no excuses really...forgot my password and didn't have time way back to reset it.  All fixed now.

I've been working hard on projects...for work and for me... as you can see by the pics I'm trying to work outside of my comfort zone too.  Have also made a lap quilt for mum and have another ready to quilt....working on a hand stitched project too.
