Textile in Focus Exhibition

The Exhibitions and Demos at Textile in Focus,

were fantastic. Sadly as I said before there were no 

photographs allowed but postcards and goodies.

These cord sculptures were made by Jenny Furlong,

Goodies Brought at Textile in Focus

I had a fun time at Textile in Focus and I alway stock up

on inspiration, reading material in the shape of leaflets and books.

From the top, Sandra Beech is a local Textile Dyer,

and we all love her threads and fibre papers.

At the Colourious stand I brought some papers, stamps

and the authentic shisha glass mirrors and some

bling embellishments for a book cover I am working on.

After a cup of tea with friends.

Art Van go is always a stop off for me and  as you can

see by the bottom photograph lots of acrylic inks

this time, a stencil, some Angelina fibres, foils and

some stamps.

Textile in Focus

Textile in Focus at Cottenham near Cambridge 

was on 15th, 16th and 17th of February this year.

I went on the Friday as usual and was bright and early as it opened.

Did my usual go round taking everything in,

I met up with lots of friends  and caught up on the latest projects.

Brought lots of goodies which I will post later.

The Exhibition in the sixth form was outstanding and the demonstrations

by artists such as Linda Monk and Jenny Furlong were

very informative and inspirational.

Above, is Sharon Osbourne in action.

She is so inspiration and her made books are out of this world.

There is a no photograph rule now at Textile in Focus

but Sharon always lets us as she thinks its important to share.

What do you think about this, photographs or not?
