Yesterday Liv and I went over to Tixall, just outside Stafford for a workshop with a lady called Jennifer Collier. She runs Unit 12, a unit that houses numerous talented artists, most of whom are textiles biased.
It was the private view of their Spring Loaded collection, so we arrived for a 10am start and did a show making workshop...
Wow, it was amazing!
This was my second attempt at a baby brogue...
I (heart) it... totally so cute xxx
After getting back in some treacherous snowy conditions (luckily I was in Harv's car and not my rear wheel Merc!) I set about waxing some old newspaper and creating another shoe - the wax makes the paper stronger, more pliable and semi-transparent!
I also waxed some old dressmaking patterns to play with...
My first creations were this pair of stillettos - how pretty!
I do need to add embellishments and ribbon but fundamentally they are finished!
Off into Birmingham now to see Lost in Lace...
