SILK STRIPS WORKSHOP RESULTS

Muriel Clark's clutch bag is delightful. Muriel  specifically dyed this silk bag to match her Mother of the Bride outfit for  her youngest daughters wedding. She constructed the 'new' fabric out of silk strips which she then dyed before making the bag.


This is the table showing the completed range of finished books and art wraps produced by members. All were made from strips of fabric, mainly silk and then the 'new' fabric was used to make mostly book covers. Some members made their own books from scratch others covered commercially bought books.

Bottom left is Gail's wrap for her art equipment. Her 'new' fabric was made from cotton strips before the wrap was made.

The fabric on which some of the books are displayed was spray dyed and stencilled, Muriel again showing a pleasing choice of colours.
