Hello

Thank you for looking at my blog. My latest passion is applique which I have been doing since 2015. I love making things and learning new crafts On this blog you will see some of the things I have been working on. You will also see wonderful items created by other people. When I am not crafting I enjoy being with family and friends, singing and family history. My favourite place in the whole world is anywhere by the sea and I have to get my fix every few weeks. My favourite colour is PURPLE but I love turquoise too!

Silk Paper

I had a go at making the silk paper using mulberry silk and wallpaper paste. It is very messy! The end result was ok but next time I need to lay out the silk more carefully and be aware of the amount of shrinkage and that the design moves. I have dried some sea aster flowers so I am going to have a go with them next and I will add some lace and stitch into the paper when it is done. I ordered more silk from Oliver Twist.
