Members who took part in this challenge last Saturday said they really enjoyed it, and were enthusiastic about having a go at something they might not have thought about otherwise.
Most people were happy to share what they had created at the afternoon Zoom show-and-tell session, and it was wonderful to see such a wide variety of ideas and fabulous pieces produced in such a short time.
Here is another look at some of those. We would be delighted to post more pictures if anyone else would like to share theirs.
Carole:
"I will be putting him in my lockdown samples book. This only took 3 hours work, so next time I could do the technique with more care."
Judi:
Judi says, "I still have more hand stitching and beads, etc to add. The piece is approx 6"x6". It includes paper fabric, painted Bondaweb ironed onto velvet, painted and stamped tags, copper sheets, cut into various shapes, embossed, and painted with alcohol inks, then 'aged' using gesso. Pieces of the 'paper' fabric were cut into strips, machine embroidered onto a calico/felt background. Each was then embellished with the various elements of mixed media. Organza was added to some strips, and some 'friendly plastic' was also incorporated."
Margherita used Anne Kelly's Textile Folk Art to make a folding book, using nuno felt backed with kozo paper and machine-stitched appliqué.
Jenny:
Jenny's piece is from the chapter ‘Unfolding story’ by Amanda Hislop, but she is making cards instead of a folding book. (Great idea! - Ed.)
