I started a new piece today, hooray! Not enough done to show as yet, but I thought I would put up some pieces I've already done. I like some of them, others are a bit ho-hum.
The top left piece was done in a workshop with Dale. It has all kinds of bits under a chffon overlay. Next to it is another one of the same type - scraps of fabric and lace under chiffon. The next two are a piece of prefelt that failed to felt into synthetic chiffon (an attempt to make a nuno scarf), but which works well under the embellisher, and its reverse side. I think I will continue to work on this piece. Next is silk cocoons and circles of angelina fabric gathered and attached with some wool. Finally, lengths of carpet yarn that was dropped onto kunin felt and embellished into place (I don't like that verb - are there any alternatives?). I then distressed the kunin felt with a heat gun.

Your samples Joan. You are so lucky to have had a class with Dale. what a good idea to combine embellishing with Kunin felt and distressing it in this way.
I don't know what happened to the first part of the last comment. It should read I love your samples Joan(smile)
