'Spanish' Experiments

Change purse resist and clasp.

 
Laying out the design...

 
...and covering it with bright pink wool roving.

(Working inside-out, as usual.)

 
Positioning the clasp is not as easy as it looks...

...even for 'sew-on' ones like this.

(Mine came out slightly askew.)

 
A project sample made with Terriea's guidance...

...and some of her beautiful plant-dyed silk.

 
Pre-felt snippets and dyed cotton scrim formed the basis of my 'tutorial'...

...much like this earlier project.

 
Two sample pieces...

side-by-side.

 
While in Andalusia, Spain this summer...

...we had time to play in my friend's studio a bit.

Terriea, Sandy and I took turns sharing techniques and project ideas...

...and we learned (and laughed) a lot!

Plus, we had the lovely Alex (Sandy's beloved husband)...

...bringing us mid-morning tea and Kit-Kats! :)
