I've done a few but hardly sold anything so am going to go further afield or attend ones I haven't done before next year.<br />
<br />
I have sold a few of my new brooches online and they are small and easy to post as well as being enjoyable to do. I dry felt the background then hand embroider flowers onto them.<br />

I have also been thinking about our exhibition next June at the Williamson in Liverpool which will be on us in no time and will be posing some ideas.Scrumptious Textileshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17417327508811553699noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019070443198377561.post-17332266262133211002017-11-21T00:13:00.000-08:002017-11-21T00:13:07.049-08:00Textile 21 at Ordsall HallTextile 21 are holding an exhibition at Ordsall Hall which is inspired by the hall itself and runs until early February.<br />
<br />
I decided to base my pieces on rusty fabric as the hall fell into disrepair before being restored. I had difficulty feeling inspired by the hall which is unusual and had to do lots of experiments before I finally decided and wasn't that pleased with the result.<br />

<br />
I went to Stockport Emporium and picked up a few pieces of lace and now need to visit more vintage markets to find more.<br />
<br />
I made a 6 inch box using my usual method of making fabric using layers of organza on curtain lining and pelmet vilene and decorated it with lace and roses made from chiffon and silk organza. I've already had an order for 3 so am working through those. I made some hearts and sold 8 to my friends at the hospice and have orders for 4 more so it looks like I'm onto a winner. One of the small bags sold too.<br />
<br />
Next a mobile phone case and a couple of brooches which I'll probably follow by a book cover and then need to put my thinking cap on.<br />

It began with the covered bottle I made at an Embroiderers Guild workshop. This was made from strips of felt with machine embroidered oak leaves and beads added.<br />
<br />
I then made a book cover and box and added oak leaves and beads in autumn colours.<br />

I love the work of Dale Chihuly and wanted to make some textile flowers that looked like glass but obviously on a smaller scale than the picture below.<br />

I made the flowers from 2 layers of pvc which had various fabrics sandwiched between and they were all wired which I was lucky enough to do without breaking a needle.<br />
<br />
My first piece was a vase of flowers which I was lucky enough to sell.<br />

On Thursdays I volunteer in the creative therapy department at a local hospice and last year the patients made a wallhanging which was inspired by the vegetable garden. As it was textile I helped with this and was inspired myself to create one on canvas.<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Transfer Dyes </span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> These are a means of colouring synthetic fabrics such as polyester, lace or acrylic felt. The dyes are painted onto paper which is then dried and ironed onto the fabric and it can be used again but the image will be paler. Protect the iron and ironing board from the dye by using baking parchment or layers of newspaper then iron on for about 1 minute checking that the design is being transferred. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Resists can be added such as leaves, seed heads, grasses, feathers or threads or pre-painted paper cut into shapes. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Painted papers can be torn into strips and woven together. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Do a second print on sheer fabric and overlay the design which gives a softer effect. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> You can sew round the shapes. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Designs can be painted onto the paper but it will be reversed once ironed onto the fabric. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Photocopied images can be painted then ironed on. </span><br />

We were going to the top of the Rockafeller Tower and in the foyer there was one trying to get out of a window. I picked it up and took it to the top and let it go which really made me feel great. It's probably the highest flying dragonfly ever and the view from the top was amazing.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I use dragonflies on several pieces of my work, cards, mobile phone cases, book covers, and pictures. This is my latest piece in mixed media on canvas and on a box. The dragonflies are made on watersoluble fabric and organza.<br />

Our next exhibition is at the World of Glass in September so I am working on some glass flowers inspired by Chuhuly. I intend to do 2 pieces, one in a vase and one wall mounted. Here is a snippet. The flowers are now different in the vase and the wall hanging will have more unusual triffid type flowers on it.<br />

Also continuing to do craft fairs as well as giving talks and demonstrations to local groups and in Patchwork Parade in Chadderton where I'm doing a workshop in July.<br />

I did a brooch workshop at Crafty friends.<br />

We've covered creative techniques, dyeing natural fabrics with procion dyes and man made fabrics using transfer dyes, made a box and a felt picture and generally had a fun time. I enjoy wet felting and have made some poppy pictures and book covers.<br />

Another type of applique which is interested is cut back where you draw a picture on Vilene put a layer of cotton on top then felt before sewing the picture from the back and cutting through the felt with a soldering iron. The white felt has been transfer dyed.</div>

I thought it was about time I started doing the blog again.<br />
<br />
Well I'm back to under the sea coral reef thing as the North West Embroiderers Guild had a regional day and that was the title of the competition so couldn't resist making something. I didn't win though. It is a largish canvas with mixed media including organza, Lutradur and Tyvek.<br />

<br />
They are a contemporary textile group in the North West and exhibit at various locations in the area with an exhibition at the moment at Nantwich Museum which is on until June 13th. This is called Tech Styles and celebrates the innovative use of technology at Quarry Bank Mill.<br />
<br />
As I have only just joined them I do not have a piece there but will be at the Whitaker in Rossendale in October and am working on my piece at the moment. It will be based around historical industry from the area including felt as it is a product that was produced in the area both for carpets and when that died out underlay. They also made felt slippers for their workers.<br />
<br />
They also quarried stone including that used for flagstones in Trafalgar Square so I will be making felted stones and because Rossendale is known as the Golden Valley these will be displayed in a handmade golden bowl. Possibly the one shown below.<br />

It was very busy and lots to explore. Had to share a photo of the incredible floating man, obviously some sort of seat fixed to the cane but really looked like he was floating.<br />

Made a felt bag from a piece of flat felt and wanted to leave the uneven edge which made it quite hard to line so next time I may try and make one using a resist so it's all in one piece.<br />

Did a craft fair at Holmfirth High School a couple of weeks ago after getting lost trying to find it. The sat nav took us in totally the wrong direction and we ended up down a narrow no through road but luckily we found someone to ask who directed us. The fair had lots of stalls and I had a good day and had been wondering how to display pictures for ages so finally got a screen which worked out well.</div>

Finally did some nuno felting on a hand dyed chiffon scarf and it really turned out well but unfortunately shrunk to about a foot long so may have to use it for something else. It is lovely colours with lots of silk but no idea how people get really long ones as they must have to start with something enormous or maybe join them together. </div>

Got the usual threads, beads and needles and 2 pieces of silk sari fabric which I am going to nuno felt at some point. Discovered the International Feltmakers Association which I am going to join as they produce a great magazine and have groups fairly locally as well as talks and workshops. Getting very into felt lately so should be good.<br />
<br />
The exhibitions were Ok although in my opinion the best one was Black Sheep and apologies as this is felt again and took some pictures. I love the colours and organic shapes and the way that felt can be made into a 3D object. Photos weren't allowed on some other exhibits.<br />
