Today Jackie led us in a mini workshop on teabag landscapes. Jackie is a real whizz with her left over teabags and has shown us her beautiful work using them many times. Well, we got to join in today. She has been saving Yorkshire teabags (what else?!) for a while, drying and preparing them for us to use. She brought inlets of little bits and pieces to create our miniature landscapes - bits of scrim, plumbers scrim(?!), evenweave fabrics and florist's ribbon; we got to delve into her ort tin of lacy scraps. Once we had selected pieces for out background, middle and foreground we stitched them down and then added embroidery. Everyone loved the results and they were all different. Don't throw you teabags away, turn them into mini works of art!

These are lovely! Who is Jackie - does she have a blog?
ReplyDeleteJackie is one of our members, she doesn't have a blog. If you have time to look throughputs posts you will spot some of her other lovely work - you'll recognise it straightaway! She makes lots of lovely book pages, and fortunately for us she's running another mini workshop for us next year.
