I have a busy week ahead of me with my embroiders' group meeting on Tuesday, leading a workshop on Lichens in Keswick on Thursday and Friday at the NEC Birmingham for a stitching show
Taking advantage of the dry sunny weather before the week of cold snowy weather, I had begun to dye some fabric ready for the lichen workshop which you can see on the line drying.
I also dyed some degummed silk cocoon waste to use as texture in one of my embroideries and to add texture to felt pieces for backgrounds for Lichen.They are in orange net bags to stop the fibres going all over the place.
I also acid hot dyed curly wool fibres for embroidering lichens.
I will finish packing for my workshop tomorrow.
Today I went to my embroiderers workshop which was on making reverse applique birds The tutor brought some lovely samples which you can see below.
My effort of a black tailed godwit is below and needs finishing!
I have started to make a few samples and work out what to teach and in what order for my mono printing workshop. We will print on paper and material.
Lots of work to finish and get ready for a new workshop so another busy week and the garden needs attention!
