Just caught something interesting on the radio. Triple J have a thing called catapult where they promote new ideas and they have this one about someone who is making patterns for download at Fitzpatterns.com. Anyhow, I thought that was interesting for people who cannot make their own. I have not had a good look coz I can make my own!
I have been speaking with my sister-in-law about boiled wool and she has given me this bag, which I think is brilliant. She is a home sewer who would put many professionals to shame.
I showed the bag to my ma-in-law who pulled out one that she had made! It was a different technique though, I believe, this one had been felted (same thing, but different process).
And what have I been up to? Well, I have the screen printer going - though just a few experimental pieces. I did one for my niece, without testing it first, yes I know, big mistake. It did not work out, the paint was too thick - I bought it on spesh, so I think it was a bit old. I tried to wash it off and then I just tie dyed it. I have not done tie dye for a long time, I used to love doing tie dye (still do). Here are the results and a picture of my workroom. Stayed tuned to 5trillion.com for more - though I regret to say that I have not updated this site for ages.
