Here's Kim and I today after the course today. Kim, she of Hot textiles fame, was an absolute scream. If you ever get a chance to go on a course with her, grab it with both hands. I had the most fab day, she was just my type of tutor, so fun a real good laugh.
Here is some of her work, including a mega huge vessel. So lush.
Look at the state of the floor in the hall, there was a sea of painted bondaweb, lutrador, tyvek and vilene. It was so funny picking through it all to the back corner where mine were!

Here is everyone working away...
I am not going to bore you with a guzzillion tyvek sampes but here is the one I managed to stitch. It has 3 layers of tyvek on the bottom, 2 heavy and one lighter weight. I just stitched with a great big stab stitch and zapped with the iron. The spirals are tyvek with the iron too and some foil to pick up the edges.
I had a ball. I am working on samples for next months workshop as I am leading it.

Hi, Carol! So glad you enjoyed your class and grabbed hold of the experience with both hands! I love seeing all that artsy goodness spread out on the floor to dry! And I love the piece you create! It is gorgeous! Love the colors! :-)
Looks like a great time was had by all and I love the colours in your tyvek sample. I met Kim at The Stitches Show at Exeter a couple of years ago and have her book, she was so much fun and very helpful, how lovely to have a workshop with her!
Have a great weekend, Carolyn
Your sample shows it was a great class.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE tyvek. This little layered tyvek piece you made is fabulous. You used an "iron" ? I usually use a heat gun - but get more bubbles. I will have to try ironing it as I like the way this looks.
I can see you had a whale of a time Carol. Love the 'sea' of work and especially your sample.
I am sooooo envious ... it all looks like fabulous work and a great time had by all ... I bought Kim's book a few weeks ago at the Big Craft Fair here in Perth that we have each year ... unfortunatley don't have time to do anything from it at the mo as I fly to UK for 6 weeks holiday in 4 weeks time ....
