Confusing pages with posts!


I keep uploading things to pages not posts on my Android HTC Wildfire. Sometimes I need to pay more attention! I have been busy doing new scarves. I had wanted to make larger scarves but it was very expensive to buy them ready stitched. So after a bit if research decided to try nuno felting bits. This has many bonuses, it seals the fraying edges but more importantly to me from an artistic perspective it adds texture and shape thereby enabling me to give firm to these large scarves/wraps actually. It is interesting to to see the difference between the silk pongee, silk chiffon and even muslin!  It was a real learning curve, some colours of my paints need to be fixed really well and the gutta does not survive the felting process!
