Grunge Board

This is a fairly new product…I had a piece to play with a while ago,but did not really have time to play . although I could see all sorts of possibilities. whilst in Aus i did some samples for Dale….and was hooked.one thing that I found was that you could split the board. this not only maximizes the volume of pieces but does make it possible to hand stitch and indeed machine stitch pieces together..and indeed layer them on top of each other. I used ink pads and a painted background that I about and had fun free-machining the board to the fabric. The board has a rather distinctive smell and is not chip board .I think that it is a polymer composite as it it flexible and just is waiting for 3d constructions to be created. Ohh what fun to be had if only I had the time!!

gilded squares.. online class in the very near future...

Hello

Oh.. this is a bit scary! Hello to the blogging world. As some of you will know I have just had one little book published ‘Wild Women’ part of the reason for my venture into this rather new way of communicating (for me) is that we have had some lovely mail and there is a growing community of people who are making the ladies and who can’t get to my workshops and who are just interested in textiles. I will be honest and tell you that I am really not that confident with technology so I am sure to make a few (or more than a few) mistakes so please bear with me .

Hopefully the blog will have some pictures, mini tutorials,some Wild Women and keep you all in touch with new products from craftynotions.com and what to do with them.
