And breathe.....

 

Phew!! College work is finally in the bag.......all done and dusted and I'm breathing a huge sigh of relief as I really wanted it all finished before Christmas which is now only a week away.....Yikes!!! I have enrolled for next year as I loved it so much but the college tell me there is a slim chance that it may not go ahead if they don't get enough people signing up for it.....I'll be gutted if that happens so keep everything crossed for me. Assuming that it will go ahead (that's me with my positive head on!) I have to step back into my inky/painty/mixed media way of thinking and get my workshops planned for the next six months before college starts again in January. No rest for the wicked!!

I have the following dates booked at The Bead Scene for my classes and although I haven't figured out what classes will be on which dates yet, a few people asked me for the dates so that they could pencil them in their diary.....I am very flattered that you want to do that without knowing what the classes are!!!!

My aim is that classes will go on sale towards the end of January.

Anyway, I thought I would leave you with a few close up shots of some more of my college work, never done so much hand stitching in all my life....this is why I've been AWOL so much!

Fabric painting & fabric marbling

 

 

Soywax batik and a bit of hand needle felting

 

 

Indigo dyed Shibori

 

 

A closer look

 

 

And yes, I did sew all those tiny beads on by hand!!!!

 

 

Well, that's me for today, I'm off to watch my grand daughter Amillie in her school nativity this afternoon, she's an angel and she'll be dressing up in all things pretty and sparkly which is her most favourite thing to do!

 

Take care,

Lin
