Getting ready for a workshop on Embroidered Lichens

Half finished lichen ready for more stitching and beads
On Saturday 18th November I am leading a workshop on Lichens in llandudno, North Wales. I am busy preparing the fabric suitable for backgrounds, collecting curly fibres and threads suitable for embroidering the colour and texture of lichens.
Cotton and muslin dyed ready for use as backgrounds


Felt pebbles and pieces ready for lichen embroidery

Some backgrounds have been made with puff paint and then coloured with dyes to look like bark or stone.


All I have to do now is pack and get my working samples ready!
