serpentine stitches: 09/01/2013 - 10/01/2013
http://serpentinestitches.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, 12 September 2013. Devoré workshop with Dionne Swift. Our first sample was a positive and negative design onto velvet using a silk screen with a paper mask. I did some buildings and added a bit of rain with a Thermofax screen. Then we had a choice between making a scarf and trying other fabrics. My second sample used a piece of devoré satin and the design combines a masking tape mask with a different Thermofax. The best bit was washing the fabric, after ironing it, and revealing the design.

http://serpentinestitches.blogspot.com/2014/07/back-after-6-months.html
Saturday, 19 July 2014. Back after 6 months. I've been having a break from blogging, but thought I'd try starting up again.

These are each 8 inches square (and include a line joining two of the sides). Thanks for reading this. 12 August 2014 at 15:36. Nice to see your back - so to speak.
