Don't forget to comment on the Feb 7th post and maybe win the transfoil giveaway!
This above is what my 'Creative Gene' had me do at the weekend, its 'Jude' inspired and will feature some beasts shortly, but not so very fantastical
. Have used some of the kimono silk that I bought from Japan on Ebay. I cant let it sit in the basket forever, I must use it! These two are lovely medium weight silks with an almost crepe feel to them. Its a far nicer feel I think, than the fine, silkier versions Ive used previously.The sky is dyed cotton ~ a mans shirt for next to nothing at car boot, but I liked its colouring and faded out dyeing. Stitching this was SO relaxing!

Stitching this was SO relaxing!And this smaller piece unearthed itself when I was sorting out. I must have done it way back, but am wondering if that too will weave..despite the spangly threads and lumpy whatever its called, that you daub on, then heat gun so it puffs up.......stuff! The backing was space dyed medium weight cotton twill, that I dyed during one of Shelagh Folgates great Challenge workshops.
What on earth made me clart all that gunk on it, when it already had such a great colour!
