August '09

Our meeting last Saturday saw a fun morning playing with kaleidoscope designs. We all chose an immage that we liked, cut a wedge from it, then placed the wedge around a central point. It was interesting to note how the number of wedges used and placement of wedges gave some very interesting results. A few of us then started tracing the predominent lines to achieve workable designs.

This one was Cathy's, using a copy of an engeneering drawing .
Show & tell brought a small quilt from Sheila featuring her own hand dyed fabric & running stitch. The fabiric was dyed during a natural dying workshop with Kath Wilkinson.
There was also another basket made from scraps following the directions in "Cloth, Paper , Scissors"This is the inside of the basket.
Robyn had made a bag to hold all her small brooches long term. Eventually the sections will all be painted.

Above is the lower section of another doll brooch in progress, to be added to the above bag.

Jenny had been making still more lace, this time a rose leaf worked in a combination of bobbin lace & needle lace.
