Millinery Intensive

The last two weeks have seen me totally immersed in a Millinery Intensive taught by Mitchell McKay as part of the costuming program and Capilano University. It was a wonderful creative experience and I have discovered much to my amazement that I am a latent milliner.....expect to see many more creations....in the meantime until I have Kats do some 'good' pics of my work I have some snaps from the class.

Blog Updates

So.... I have added a few little updates....a workshop page and a shop page and updated the background, its springtime and I felt like an overhaul. Tommorow starts the millinery intensive and I hope to have lots of pictures to share.....one more sleep.

a little disperse experiment

I did a little printing experiment on some fabric that was acquired from Our Social Fabric....worked quite well, now to design something specific for this fabric.

Felting Nature's Lace Workshop

I am offering a workshop at my home on May 19-20th. The cost is $175

Add a fun new textural dimension to your laminate felting by adding natural lace which you will make from Thai Kozo; the inner bark of the mulberry tree. This creates felt with a lovely organic lacey texture which is a bit stiffer than most laminate felt options. This technique really lends itself to 3D projects such as purses and vessels either by sewing or felting with a resist. No previous felting experience necessary just bring your enthusiasm and creative sense of adventure. The $175 fee includes 2 days of felting fun, kozo and wool included. There will be a list of things to bring. I am asking for a $50 deposit to confirm your space. $50 Deposit
