Profile Information
- What aspect of textiles are you interested in?
- I am interested in embroidery and learning new stitches, dying techniques, using old denim clothing to create new items such as bags. I also like to crochet and knit with different weights of wool and size needles and crochet hooks. Actually anything to do with textiles.....
- Where did you learn your textle skills?
- I learned from my great grandmother, my grannies and my mother more recently from a sewing group in Malawi.
- Anything else you want to say to introduce yourself to the group??
- At the moment I am trying to get to grips with my new home, a new town and a new country. I am also looking for work which is I have to say rather depressing but I am trying to keep positive. I did think that I could stay at home and sell what I make but totally lack confidence.....

- Hi Leslie, thanks for your comment on my earth spirits photo, I've been very lax in checking in here so have missed a lot of comments, but appreciate your comment, you asked about the faces, these ones were made with a commercial press mold, but if I do any more in future I'll try and sculpt my own

Hopscotch said… - With regards to Nuno felting, It is also called wet felting and involves building a grid of wool fibres up and applying friction ,moisture and heat to shrink and mesh the fibre together.
I found it quite difficult as quite a bit of physical effort was needed, and having suffered a broken wrist I didn't seem to have the strength. The embellisher was the answer for me!

- Thanks for your kind comments , Leslie,
I have just completed a piece using the Embellisher and it was very enjoyable experimenting with different materials and combining hand stitches, there is so much to learn and so little time!!

Rosemary said… - Hi Leslie, No luck in Mum's books apart from the pattern for the diamonds from his "Pattern Library"... that's only really giving you the dimensions of the diamond on a little graph and the instruction to "use a different set of closely toned shades in each diamond". Sorry! You've got me intrigued now too, I'll keep an eye out for it! Rosemary

Laurie in Maine said… - Hi :)
I noticed you thought you might need help & advice for the next postcard swap round. I visited your blog and saw your ATC's & postcards so am guessing it will just be details on who you send to. (And who sends to you!) Will be happy to help sort things out as we go but feel free to message me!
