January Play Day - "Angie Lewin"
Taking inspiration from the lovely work of Angie Lewin, members spent the day working on backgrounds for stitch based on natural forms - seed heads, grasses and foliage.
Here is some of their work, ready to be taken home and developed!
Happy New Year ... I love the work of Angie Lewin and have made blinds for my kitchen from one of the fabrics designed by her -'Dandelion' I think. What a great idea for a workshop. Have you seen the pieces by Angie Hughes on a similar theme?
Hi Hazel, nice to hear from you. Yes, this theme seems to be all the rage at the moment doesn't it! Very attractive though and really lends itself to textile work. I see that you are as prolific as ever!
