February

Feb is here,the world is just so fast.Must be enjoying myself as they say the world spins when you're having fun.
There are so many things I have completed since I last posted but I am now enjoying learning new techniques and using materials I wanted to try but never got round to.As part of a site I am on for that very thing I am producing a journal and will collect the samples to produce a comprehensive Techniques for Textiles diary.
Whilst lying in bed the other night I was bemoaning the fact that all I had for mark making on fabric were some tubes of kids paint and some fabric pens when I remembered ages ago I bought a set of 22 bottles of fabric colours.On finding it(right where I knew it was=honest)I discovered it was July 2005 when I got them .
Will not be too long till I try them out.
Making fabric beads,just a half dozen to see how I go.Want 3 for the cover of my journal.Post pics later today when I organise something.

Busy busy
