Tha yak was absolutely yummy to felt with! If I remember Blas correctly it was an 80% yak 20% merino mixture but I am going to check this out again. Although the fibre is quite a bit more expensive than merino it is worth every penny and I definitely will be ordering some more for myself [...]

With the studio to tidy, wool to unpack, kits to prepare and other sundry orginisational chores to get through today it was a toss up this morning to know exactly which task to get stuck into first. As soon as I started unpacking the wool it became immediately obvious that I couldn’t progress any further without tackling [...]

I was supposed to be going to a finance workshop (associated with the tourism course) tomorrow but as my fever is definitely back with a vengeance I have decided to stay at home. Initially I was thinking of laying out and starting a larger garment flu permitting, but since the postman has just arrived with my [...]

What an exciting day I had yesterday. Because I really didn’t know exactly what we would be doing at the South East Textile Group monthly workshop I was totally floored to discover that we would be learning how to print collagraphs on to paper and felt using intaglio plates, I had been thinking along the lines of lino or [...]

Well, my package of fibres and fabric was every bit as good as anticipated! In particular I was delighted with both the dark grey and the zebra striped 16 micron merino as well as the dyed linen (or flax) fibre and the ponge silk. I have worked with raw linen fibre before and found it very interesting to use [...]

Following on from my last post, the Icelandic wool that I have ordered is on its way and I am also now waiting for some silk chiffon and ponge silk to get here in preparation for a nuno felting marathon in the run up to December (note how I managed to avoid using the C word!). I am [...]

I am really putting my mind down to making these flowers for my piece at Sculpture in Context. Since Sunday morning I have made over 400 of them so in search of light relief I also made two mosaic nuno scarves ‘a la Sigrid Bannier’ with a twist! The nuno mosaic technique I learnt last November [...]
