Hi Robbie glad to see that you are up and about. Count me in too....
I keep coming back to this...it is so lovely....
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,
Thank you for the comment on my weld sketch...
cool slippers, I am going to do velvet ones as soon as I find that scrap of velvet,
were they difficult to make? Did you make the piece that they are sitting on?

- Hi Leslie, I'm an Eastern Caper - near neighbours to KZN - and quite often go up to Kokstad to work in Ntabankulu area. I'm glad you enjoyed the blog note. We have a new colleague in the office who has been back a year from six years in the UK. She said the thing that she really had to catch up on was the local music. Your work is lovely especially the slippers and the flower caught my eye.Thanks for the thank you card.

- 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!!
