Yesterday the afternoon was sunny after a very wet, misty morning so we went down to Mevagissey for supplies...
..the Harbour...
....so many villages look like this in Cornwall.

Today we went out to Heligan to celebrate Mothers Day and Lesley's birthday...
....lunch was delicious then we went back to the barn to be creative!
I made this design for a cut away piece...
...traced it....
....put it at the back of layered organzas as a stitch guide....
....stitched using gold metallic thread....
....after cutting back with a soldering iron BUT I cut back too much on the triangles and resorted to cutting with small scissors!!!
Think I will make a stamp with this design.

Karen showed us how to layer papers, top layer of serviettes, any papers really. A piece of tissue is coated with a diluted PVA glue, then a layer of other tissue, and repeat until there are 4/5 layers. Leave to dry then coat with acrylic wax, leave to dry then this paper 'fabric' can be stitched.
Will show more tomorrow if the internet is ok!!
