Inks and Embroidery ..............

I was invited by the Shetland Guild of Needleworkers to host a workshop a couple of weekends ago - some inky things with a sewing element!  So we made this little book of five ATCs which included a little bit of ribbon embroidery. 

It was a large group (sixteen in all) but they all had alot of fun and there were a few converts to Distress Inks and lots of wows!! when we did the shrink plastic embellishments.  I look forward to seeing how they will convert these techniques into their needlework projects as a number of the members have created some fantastic multi-media pieces.

 

It has been an unbelievably hectic couple of weeks - hosting three workshops in three weekends and directing/producing the local panto is becoming an almost full time job! So I haven't had any time for visiting blogs and taking part in challenges.  But thank you all for your lovely comments and a special welcome as well to a number of new followers.

Everything is now packed away and once I have had a bit of a clean up of the craft room I should be back to normal!!
