Lin taught us to make a
simple, colorful origami ornament that unfolds into a lovely star to hang on our Christmas tree, decorate a window or attach to a package, and it folds up
into a book! Such a fun project, anxious to teach my grand daughters.
 |
| A tiny book that you can write on becomes a star when it is open. |
 |
Lin gives us a tip with a glue stick, use an old book to glue on and then turn the page
so as not get glue on the project. |
 |
| Little dots of glue to glue 5 folded papers together. |
 |
| Ribbon glued on outside pieces about a pencil width in between. |
 |
| Had to use mine as I didn't manage to take pictures of the finished stars. |
 |
| Show and Tell |

Priscilla continues to make even more interesting weavings.
Also note her knitted vest. |
 |
| Woven transparency, she works on one section at a time. |
 |
| "Heaven: Revelation 4" |
 |
| Jane made this very special art piece using dyed paper, interfacing and embroidery. |
 |
| Judy's newest project is felting lamp shades to sell. |
 |
| Suzanne this might be one of my favorites of your felting animals. |
 |
Coleen made another beautiful rug, this one has small splits
woven in. |
Coleen weaves on a vertical loom, the tension is maintained by weights tied to the warp ends. It is placed on an angle, which makes it possible to use thread and a stick to make harnesses to create different sheds. So far I have only used tabby weave.
The tapestry below began just with playing at making a bird, and then thinking about where that bird would perch. Channeling the Hard Day’s Night Beatles album cover, I think. My partner, David, had a life sized photo copy of his face used for a sculpture project which I worked from.
 |
Marie continues to put unusual media together to make
a wonderful piece of art. |
 |
| Beautiful scarf and mittens by Susan. |
 |
| Julie made a vase type art form with 3 sides. |
 |
Julie also brought her wonderful Eagle, that she has entered in
several shows. |
 |
| Nancy felted a sweater to make this bag and wet felted the mittens below. |
 |
Jennifer revised an older technique and made several
Christmas cards to sell. |
 |
Linda tried a new technique to fuse fabric for these city scapes.
She made these for gifts for Christmas. |
 |
Wendy paper pieced and quilted this wall hanging.
This is a Laura Heine pattern. |
