I'll be honest..all those non-textile activities have been a kind of therapy for me, since I wasn't accepted to two events I really wanted to do.
It made me question my 'status' am I a dabbler, and artist, a maker?
Please don't answer that , I just need to get it off my chest.
The weirdest thing happened last week over on Facebook. I posted a picture of a piece I made in 2007 to show an example of what can be done with teabag paper which I'm selling in my etsy shop. It went berserk. I got loads of new likers, 34 shares and lots of comments. Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree and should go back to that!
Anyway I have things to do and I just sat down and 'did it' yesterday (after a break when I made curtains and cushion covers) and I was quite delighted with the pieces I did. They are a bit different to my usual.
Whether they will be brooches or what I don't know.
I'm just exploring the technique at the moment.
