Taking Textiles Further

I recently attended Missenden Abbey, on the third weekend of the year of Taking Textiles Further; a master class with Janet Edmonds.  We were instructed to use tints and shades of one colour and if we liked we could add white and black as well.  We then had to explore making small samples of different 3D techniques using our chosen theme, which for me was a return to apple blossom. I explored weaving, looping and layering as well as other techniques.

Contemporary Textile Fair

I went to the Contemporary Textile Fair, Teddington last weekend for the first time.  I enjoyed myself  and thought that the textiles on show were beautiful.  I was very tempted but I am trying to be good at the moment so I bought some paper and buttons from Craig Fellows whose whose designs and textiles are fabulous and I just had to have a little something.
