I crossed three borders to get from West Cork to Northumberland. There were no borders or barriers at the Border Textile Group meeting though. I was welcomed with open arms as their first International visitor!
It was a great afternoon and I learned how to make paper using mulberry silk and wildflowers. I bought a kit and have ordered some mulberry silk from Oliver Twist Fibres on etsy. I found some wild sea asters on the beach at Bamburgh and Joan has given me some of Aunt Florrie's lace so I can't wait to have a go myself. The process looks easier (if a little messier) than wet felting and you are left with a much finer product.
I took a few photos on the day, my favourite piece was the snowdrops.
