Day 2!

So what makes a good reading blog?

I am trying to think....I don't read much....unless it's a craft book or magazine!  I have been known to write poems and kiddy stories!

I use to tell one to my daughter when she was younger and would only wear her wellingtons.  It was mostly to keep her out of the gutter after it had been raining...the roads are dangerous right.

Anyway that one was about a gargoyle that lived in the water sewers who skulked around looking to eat little girls wellies if they paddled, jumped or even just dipped their toe in the gutter rain water!

My degree is in Teaching crafts so I find writing a list of steps of how to make something enjoyable too..........

Perhaps I have struck on my theme.......well alongside trying to sell the fibre stuff I make!

Well that's it for today...I have to get ready....I have to paint Mum's living room walls cream and then take her to a hospital appointment.

Here's a pic to look at!
 
This Embroidery was taken from a study of a pomegranate.  It's still unfinished as such because it needs mounting. The top centre shape has washaway fabric with embroidery on so it will be transparent.  I want to cut around the outside follong the design outline and mount in a stand frame....I had this idea for at least a year ago when I was doing the embroidery!

Right must go,
Jacqui

Creation of a dream

I should have started this two years ago! That`s when the dream of Fibre Dreams began to take shape! So after this long journey i am ready to start on the road trip of a lifetime. I shall boldly go onto the Internet with my handmade products. I have a transporter full of the extra materials and equipment i think other fibre craft people would like to have as well... I`ve got the stuff now i need to learn how to set up a website...or set up shop on big shop site (you know the bay thingeo!). I will even learn how to post photo`s of my products. Fibre Dreams.....First frustration was not understanding why the telephone number is not recognised when i tried to .com my blog site? And why you have to have a fax if you are setting up as a business?? And where do i go to get these answers.... But a successful day on the knitted blooms broaches!! So at this point in time if you have experience setting up fibre craft websites i would be grateful for any positive comments! If you have any in...

More City & Guilds Module snippets!

The course with the The School of Stitched Textiles  really allowed me to move out of the comfort zone. You know the course is so varied in content there is no room to get complacent. For instance this print below.  The brief was use an artist style to design a Print.  This stops you, it did in my case (!), from falling into the designs you usually come up with. I used Paul Klee's Full Moon (1919).  I did manage to make the stencil achieve a border repeat and made a Lino cut stamp for the tree.  Fun and challenging! Another, Module 7, had us making beads, buttons, tassels, braids and edgings to fabric panels...loads! I personally love these  fabric bell tassels on hand made cord.  I believe the design comes from India... Here's some of the other tassels that were the least unwieldy to fit into my Module 7 Sample fabric book! This is a Lantern!  The base fabric is Organdie.  Fun was had researching into the best fabric stiffener because i have...
