The first one is wool rovings wound in a spiral and embellished then I added some fancy threads plus a chiffon scarf and embellished the lot--then I zapped it with the heat gun creating great texture.
This is the reverse side and it is nearly as nice as the front.
This sample is a serviette on foiled felt and strips of different coloured chiffon scarf--embellished and then zapped--yummy
This one is felt-hand dyed Tissutex--silk rods--wool threads and a chiffon scarf--embellished and then zapped.
I think this will become a needlecase.
Another piece of Tissuetex with a chiffon scarf --embellished and zapped-- double yummy.
Tissuetex is a paper that thinks it is fabric- very strong and takes dyes beautifully can be stitched on and can be purchased at The Thread Studio.
This week it will be week 6---the last one and I must say that I will miss it when it is all over.
I have learned to experiment with fibres and papers and fabric and that most things can be embellished(as long as they don't break the needles that is)

Gorgeous samples again! I would say you are getting your money's worth out of this class.
This Tissuetex sounds facinating. Yet another thing to buy:) I can see how much you are learning in Dale's class. Beautiful work.
Wonderful samples! Must be a great class, wish I had the time... Happy to enjoy your work though. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, Doreen, you certainly have got a lot out of this course, fantastic samples and i can't imagine how you will make needle lace out of one of them.
These are beautiful Doreen - I love the colours and the wonderful textural effects that you have achieved. You seem to have enjoyed the course!

They are gorgeous samples Doreen.I am very curious wht you are gonna do with them.
These are beautiful Doreen and I especially love the last one - perhaps it is because of the colours!
These samples are lovely - glad you're enjoying the course.
Lovely samples of your embellisher work. I have nominated you for an award and meme, but please dont feel obliged to play along.
