May

Another month has gone by and so has another meeting of our little group last weekend with more show & tell.

As you will recall from our last meeting, some of our members were away at Fibre Forum at Orange in the Central West of NSW doing week long workshops, so the first of our pics this month is of Sheila's bookmaking workshop with Marianne Little. This first one opens out to a wonderful fan shape.

Then there was this little cutie.

After "Show & Tell", Sheila sat working on this stunning piece of goldwork.

I had finished playing with samples for a major piece & turned them into bookmarks. One used hand dyed fabric, the other two used hand dyed thread. (Pics soon). I had also hand dyed a piece of linen & some perle 12 thread ( on the white reel) in readiness for stitching. The other three balls of thread are commercially bought ones that I may also incorporate into the design somewhere. Why was everyone not surprised at my colour scheme?

I had also been getting ready for an exhibition with some fellow lace makers at the Fairfield City Museum & Gallery. Robyn had finished her play from last month with the Inktense Water Soluble Pencils,

and during the day began stitching on her second beaded rock.
