things are happening

This is the project I've been involved in for the last year - I've made the staff costumes(handsewn, tablet weave, mega authentic) costume for the exhibition dummies, costume for loan boxes, and 60 kids dressing up outfits - as well as giving them one of my warp-wieghted looms on semi-permanent loan.

WOW!!! This is a huuuuuge amount of work. Did you do everything by hand, or use a sewing machine for at least the kids' outfits? Very fab work!

[zafania]

I used a machine for the kids outfits, but I still had to do about 200ft tablet weave for them and that had to be sewn on by hand - at least I persuaded liz to have 20 of the kids outfits as monks, so they didn't need any

nlvb is happy now I;ve finished cos he can have his sewing machine back to make his curtains

[junewilliams7]

kitchen curtains? you could make those in your sleep.

[zafania]

living room curtains - and he can make them himself

[melusin_79]

Wow.

[zafania]

am just glad I;ve finished

Ooh! Stunning - Anglo Saxon stuff is so precious - wish it was nearer to see.

[zafania]

it nearly was - the museum had to take the BM to court to keep it

nyah nyah!

[junewilliams7]

what argument did they use to win?

[zafania]

not sure - they probably had to prove they had the means to display it correctly and that there was enough local interest

I am so inspired by all your beautiful creations - you're so talented! I hope you don't mind that I friended you. I'd love to see whatever else you're working on. I especially enjoyed looking at your tapestry (from your wordpress blog) and would be interested in learning more about it. Do you cross post from there to here?

[zafania]

I only mind being friended hwen its by wierd russian spambots

mostly I post textiles stuff at wordpress, sometimes I cross post, but usually only finsihed/interesting stuff

[jennifleur]

I'm defiantly not a Russian spambot. ;^) I'll be sure to poke over there then occasionally too, so I don't miss anything. =)

[zafania]

Hello,

sorry for the random comment. I enjoyed your story Bat Cake on the current sshg exchange very much. Do you mind if I friend you?

[zafania]

[dreamy_dragon73]
