yes, I am definitely feeling a little daft, These are the blueberry muffins my kids rustled up for themselves- as mentioned on last post, but the photo mysteriously disappeared from it...... . And this is Yvonne brown a very kind textile artist who just spent two whole days teaching some fen ladies to create texture and surfaces, We had a brilliant time and I couldn't wait to nip home and steal Mr shed mans soldering iron and some emulsion paint. |

| We had a lot of fun playing with xpandaprint and some screens, and we made lots of textile papers too, all very painty and sticky and huge fun!We enjoyed ourselves hugely and learned a lot, thank you Yvonne... |

| Remember the porridge bag? now the paints dry, so Iv ironed the wrinkles out and the pages feel a bit soft and fragile. so I have painted all pages on one side with a half and half pva solution and laid each page on a waxedd cereal packet, completely non stick and quite firm, I stack them up and put a weight on top, don't know if I'm doing this right, playing it by ear, maybe I should have painted and pvad before I cut the pages upkeep watching and we will see how it goes, now I must go and stitch something as I am getting withdrawal symptoms... |
short prayer- please blogger- behave yourself.......
You should be all right with the porridge bags between the cereal bags and weighted down. They should peel off ok and I don't see that cutting them to size will have made any difference. They might take extra time to dry out though so maybe take the weights off fairly soon. You can always flatten them when they're dry. Your workshop looks interesting, I hope you're going to bring your samples on Wednesday :)
