Ice Resin day 2

What was supposed to be a quick dash to Craft Arena, ended up being all morning-lovely. Denise had a college friend in so they could get some of their C&G work done. I held them up, as we did far too much talking!
The resin set on my sheer flowers making them pliable, but with a completely different handle to the fabric. The resin has changed the colour of the stitching on the left flower, it was lime green, and the heart shapes on the yellow flower was very purple. Maybe it was applied to thickly, will have to do some more experiments
I am now going to do some stitching on it, hopefully tomorrow, so will keep you posted. One of my end of year presents from one of my little cherubs, was a voucher for Craft Arena. I wanted to buy something special, and I have! the new Jane Dunnewold book:0)
I am going to take this to read on my holiday to Cornwall.

While my bread is soaking ready to make a bread pudding, I thought I would quickly do a posting about today.
Denise of Craft Arena is doing her Diploma in Embroidery, and she has to make a vessel. I love making vessels, so I said I was happy to go along for a couple of hours to see what we could come up with. Denise already had her design source, so it was time to play. Stitching an image that had been printed on abbacca tissue.

Then out cam the paints.

Then the exciting bit, the Ice Resin.

Having coated the different experimental bits with the resin, we have to wait until tomorrow to see the results-can't wait!!!!

While we were playing/exchanging ideas, Miriam and Sheila both of Chelmsford Embroiderers' Guild, happened to pop in.

They enjoyed looking at the exhibition in the new gallery and then....

in spite of her good intentions, Miriam ended up spending her money. :0)
