As mentioned before, one of my range of products is "Butterfly SoftSpun", a PP/PET needlefelted geotextile. I've been playing around with this for a while now - painting it, stitching it by both hand and machine, and heat zapping it too.
Wow! Does it do beads well or what!!!
They look "old"...."aged".....with loads of character.
Luckily, I already had a piece of long-cloth to finish...
...and these new beads fitted the bill perfectly :-)
So, another sample is fixed onto a canvas panel, ready for the Festival of Quilts.
Also completed is my Australian-inspired punchneedle piece.
The sample wall will have plenty of eye-candy for those of you coming to Birmingham next week :-)))
I'm still working on a bit of Kuba-cloth....
...and a small sashiko panel...
...hopefully I can show those before I go...
Have a great weekend....
