Further to the Silk and Wool Thing

Quite a lot of brooches

Details of a couple with pearl buttons
And this is what happens when it snows bubble-wrap all over the workshop.. Phew! Just in time, we were almost out...

Week of Silk and Wool (and visitors) - day two

Much sorting of the Big Silk Box today, and a lot of semi-finished brooches (more images later), plus a book which I forgot to photograph
And woolly blocks and silk crumbs...

Week of Silk and Wool, day one (silk)

Start with a clean workspace...


Add fabrics, Vilene, iron and board

Make a big mess...

...some experimental blocks...

...and brooches...
More tomorrow

More silky things

How to free-motion on a tiny scale, and some of the resulting brooches (All £10, and for sale..)
(ETA cream one has gone, but I can make more...)

Interpolated stars for a wee purse

Hand made

Fun at the Queens House in Woodbridge, with small persons sewing brooches
They had a lot of fun.. I had a good time too.. Thanks to all
