Rags, the Dark and Other Distractions!

I must apologise for recently neglecting the blog. There are so many distractions at the moment! Don't forget the NQ Show and Tell on Saturday, from 6 am for working members of Fibres - yes in the dark!  Take a deep breath Suzanne, you're not alone and it's going to be great. And don't forget your pre-election vote - thanks Julia for choosing the 21st when we'd booked it first. Then there are the Totems. Hope yours is coming together more efficiently than mine?! Then Annette gave us a workshop on making rag bags and baskets and distracted me from more pressing matters big time. The two shoulder baskets pictured are mine made since last Friday, that's how distracted I am. Good timing Annette! But thanks. Those of us who attended are enamoured of the technique.


Then, I hope you're working on your Lengths of the Earth pieces..............................?

Congratulations to Studio2 on the very successful opening of their new gallery. Selena and Donna are two of the founders who also belong to Fibres and Fabrics. Some of our other members have items on display and for sale in the gallery/studio. Well worth a visit.

Joy's Felting Workshop

Over three weekly workshops, Joy introduced us to her felting techniques. An enthusiastic number of members tried their hand at the art with some inspiring results. Thank you Joy!
Here are some of the pieces made. More to follow.

And these are Margaret D's samples relating to the 3rd and 4th lessons in fine work.
