I got this wonderful parcel of handmade felt from my friend, Ailsa, yesterday! What a lovely surprise:D
Ailsa has also handstitched into the felt and added elements from nature that she finds on her walks or in her garden.
She's sent me some of her felt with the idea of me experimenting with it and making it into something. I'd quite like to try making a felt book for my jewellery course to put my samples in, and a hanging. I shall have to have a think about it.
The above fabric are 2 lengths of silk that I printed at Uni, one on habotai, the other on georgette. I did a devore print with that screen too, and then the design was washed off the screen ready to be used by another student, and so these lengths of fabric are unique. I just can't decide what to do with them, they're too pretty to be sat in my wardrobe, they're too big to hang in my house.
Ideas welcomed.
My dress is coming along very slowly, painfully slowly. I've never made a dress before and I've never used a pattern before, so I'm a complete beginner. This is the back panel. The fabric is a lovely liberty print.
Thank you Ailsa:D
Love and light to everyone xxx
