Felted Wedding Teacosies
If you follow my other blog; darning the divide you will know it's my sister's wedding in a month and I am busy making lots of things for it; several being wedding teacosies:
These are of the second teacosy, which used a doily and chiffon, but this time the chiffon didn't felt and attach itself very well, not like the first; I think I know why so next time I will be more careful.
I will have better photos when they are dry.

Tea Dyeing Experiments & Monoprints onto Cloth
Tea dyeing some new bits of cloth; love to play.
Have been doing some mono print experiments in the studio (see more here). Some of which are onto cloth which I intend to stitch or felt into or use in sections to add to other cloth work. Only black ink used this time but want to branch out into some colours next time.

Cat Hair Felt????!
Hi all,
Sorry its been so long since I last posted. My book arts side of me has run away with itself and all my time! I do stitch occasionally still of course but I haven't felted since Christmas! Eek! I am dying to get back into some cloth work when I have a moment but there is a big book art project i'm working on which I want to get finished first. Anyway, I saw this Japanese craft book and laughed so much I had to share with you; can you believe you can use cat hair????! Amazing! Anyone tried it out before?
