Textiles experiments

I didn't get round to posting these pictures yesterday but these are bits and pieces I have been working on. Still finding my way and no clear idea of how they will be finally used, thinking of mounting them on blank canvas ready to hang. At the moment with more time spent indoors and the tele being on - it seems more worthwhile to have something to show for being sat down!!

Make up roll or pencil cases

I have been busy finishing some flowers and hearts, I still have to photograph them.

The other task I have been doing is to get to grips with a new website I have found. http://www.folksy.com/ It is a Uk site, I think, least ways it is set up in Pounds and Pence so easier to work with than Etsy. I am having trouble photographing some green fabric that I have dyed. So have listed one item and now going to take the dog out!

sewing

Not much sewing done today apart from some cards, busy sorting out the fish pond. This is a print that I did the other day - using a gocco screen. Undecided at the moment what to do with it next.

Work in Progress

I have had a sort of tidy up day and found a box that I had made. I liked the fabric but not the box, so taking the box apart I reinvented the fabric. Now I need to leave it to see where the creative muse takes me!

Hand printed fabric

This is fabric I screen printed last week and is part of the batch of the fabric that I used to make the pencil cases/ make up bags. I am going to over print with a motif, that idea came to me on waking up this morning. It was my intention to get that done today but other things happened - so it is my job for tomorrow.

thought

I was going to print up some more fabric today, but time seems to have disappeared. I have had some zips delivered that I ordered so now will get on and put them in another pencil case/ make up bags. I am trialing a new pattern, finding a way to put zips in that look professional.
