Sizoflor, Tyvek and PVA

I had fun with the sizoflor today. I used two colours - blue and gold, cut out petal shapes, freemotion zigzagged the edges with metallic thread, scribbled over the surface and stitched a wire to the back of each one, then joined the petals together. The stamens are beads threaded on wire. Then I attacked it with the heat gun. This is the result. I think I will have to make another one to wear to THE WEDDING in the US in July!


Then I played with some tyvek. I coloured both sides of a piece with metallic crayons, cut out leaf shapes, sandwiched them with organza and scribbled with metallic thread - gold in the bobbin and green on top. I had intended to try to only bubble the tyvek, but I got impatient and zapped it from both sides. There are lots of lovely holes in this and I think I will apply it to a base fabric. A peach colour looked good, but I didn't have enough. I need to search my stash. The piece looks different depending on which side you look at, but I used the same colour crayons on both sides.



And the PVA? I glued the stamped tissue to my box, then coated it all with diluted PVA to seal it. No photo - but watch this space.
