I embellished a few bits of lace onto a piece of white felt, and then zapped it with the heat gun, front and back ..... when I do it again I shall leave more space between the laces so the felt can disintegrate easier!
I then painted it with BLACK fountain pen ink, which dried blue. I did think it would dry a grey colour, maybe. Perhaps I should have watered the ink a bit ....
I then painted a yellow on it, and got this suggestion of green. Quite nice - make a pretty book cover maybe?
This is a piece of hand dyed silk I embellished onto felt in a random manor, leaving odd spaces. It is amazing how this texture reminds me of my swimsuit, when I was little!!
This is silk, wool and nylon tops pulled out into wisps and embellished on dark green polyester velvet. I am enjoying this ..... looking forward to Tuesday!

Way to go Val---look out world here she comes.
ooh your on a roll now, fantastic samples
We must be of an age! I was busy admiring your embellished (potential) bookcover as the pink piece came into view.
Without even seeing the whole piece my first thought was of my swimsuit when I was younger. Though I must admit that mine was yellow!
You're certainly going some with that embellisher, I love the dark blue piece and think it'd make a great bookcover. Look forward in anticipation to the next "embellisher installment".
Fantastic samples, Val. Isn't the class well structured and lots of inspiration.
Great embellisher samples Val, Love the postcard too.
Love the lace piece, would definitly make a fabulous book cover.
What a great set of samples, Val, I love the fountain pen ink /lace one, what a clever idea to paint it with ink. Looking forward to seeing what you do on the course.
Are you sure you didn't secretly go on the first course, you're doing fantastic work!!!
