Week 5 Samples for Embellisher workshop

Here are some of my samples from the week 5 class on the embellisher with Dale at the Thread Studio
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)
