While my room was being reorganised I wasn't completely idle, even though working with my stash scattered all over the flat was difficult.
I have been doing some short half day courses with Coleg Harlech, last term we were printing fabrics, natural dyeing and rust dyeing
I enjoyed the rust dyeing, the fabrics used below are calico, cotton, Lutradur, scrim and even the plastic bags the rusty bits were resting on.
I used the Lutradur squares to make a booklet, they started off 12 " square and became a 6" folding book.
One page rusted with washers.
Another rusted with nails
I love how this book can be placed different ways to show off the pages

My natural dye experiments were not very successful as I was on holiday the week we were covering it in class, I don't have much greenery in my garden and most of the best berries had gone by the time I had a play at home.
It was interesting to have a go, but I don't think I will be doing any more
This term we are covering stitch, mainly hand stitch and also reverse applique and faux chenille.
I am enjoying rediscovering hand stitch, as I am working on some new items of my own at the moment I am keeping my samples for this term small.
This was the first stitch sample, using lots of the fabrics from last term.

Your stitch sample is beautiful and I like the variations in the rust dyeing. Love the folded books. Not a good time of year for natural dyes unless you had already prepared or dried some plant material.
Carol where can I find instructions for that folded book? Does it have a name so I can find it somewhere, it is not in my bookmaking books, not that I have many but would love to try and make one.
I THINK I know how you folded the pages, but like penny, I'd love to know for sure. Your stitch sample is gorgeous. Most definitely needs a frame!
Vicki if you email me on carolmcfee@aol.com I will send you some info, your comment came through with no reply blogger

Thank you for such a great post you wrote here and I'm very obliged to write an article here on the benefit of herbal herbs.I am 29 years old and have been diagnosed with breast cancer, ease of treatment and a similar story, except for my first acceptance as a rejection of herbal medicine. I was not part of the Perseid movement and did not really build relationships with any of them, I just believed in their operation. I say this because it was during the use of Dr. Itua herbal medicine that I now attest that herbal medicine is real, the phytotherapy Dr. Itua heals my breast cancer which I suffered for 2 years. Dr. Itua herbal medicine is made of natural herbs, with no side effects, and easy to drink. If you have the same breast cancer or any type of human illness, including HIV / AIDS, herpes cancer, bladder cancer, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, kidney cancer, lung cancer, skin cancer, skin cancer and skin cancer. , LEUKEMIA, VIRUSES, HEPATITIS, INFERTILITY WOMEN / MAN, LOT OF LOVE, LOTTERY.
