Our crafty gatherings have been on a wee holiday for the summer as a lot of us are travelling from here to yonder over the next few months.
I did however attend a horse-hair weaving workshop that the Chile Makers ran, facilitated by Varignia. The workshop happened on the last day of the pop up shop - Micro Techniques in Carnaby Street.
This is my first attempt at horse-hair weaving and you need super concentration. This small disc is about the size of a two pence piece. A magnifying glass would be useful! The Chilean women who have been doing this for years put me to shame, they are so fast at weaving very elaborate creations.
This picture is the start of a wing for a butterfly, I'll have to continue making this as the time seemed to fly during the workshop, very stimulating. We will have to get Varignia to run another one for the Frizzle Circle group.
