MN Manipulations

Last winter I prepared for the April 2018 EGA chapter exhibit by cutting out some of the work I had done at the Fiber Forum Workshop in Minnesota with Barbara Smith.  I used the scraps of Thai silk to mount the embroidered felted samples and construct an accordion book. 

The sample on the left was embellished by stitching through the felt near the surface.  The sample on the right has tiny Delica beads sewn into the surface.  Some wonky knitty yarn was disassembled and applied to the surface. 

The rectangle above has a variety of beads applied with straight stitches marking the surface. 

The circle below has orange beads that I never thought I would use combined with scraps of Mango Madness knitting yarn .
