Sue Chisnall demonstrated a different method of using Tyvek
Method-
After painting/stamping the Tyvek and when dry, this is free machine embroidered onto a base fabric, remembering that the more stitching, the less is burnt away.
You then iron over the Tyvek, using parchment paper to distress the piece. Check frequently to see if the desired effect has been achieved.
You can also make beads by wrapping painted Tyvek around a knitting needle, secure with wire & zap with heat gun.
I demonstrated Foiled Velvets
Method -
Using black or coloured velvet as a background, Bondaweb or any other fusible webbing, was ironed on in strips or pieces and heat transfer foils applied over to create a shiny but subtle metallic background. Further metallic embellishments were applied by attaching Bondaweb to the back of metallic ‘sweetie’ papers – cut to form patterns. Use to create heavily embellished boxes, bags, caskets etc.
Sue, Tracey and I hope to see some finished or part-finished pieces from those who took part – please bring them to the next meeting!!
