Creating String Art cards October 22, 2012



Our October meeting introduced us to a new fibre art - creating images for greeting cards using "string art".
In fact we used embroidery floss, but we did manage to create artful butterflies for our cards.



Jane Paice (a member of the Kawartha Handweavers and Spinners) travelled to our meeting from Lindsay to instruct us.


Jane kept a close eye on our progress and helped us to fix our "oopses". Here Karen is working hard and Margaret is getting advice from Jane.



Wendy, Lisa, Shirley and Kim are concentrating on their work.



The smile on Kim's face shows that she is enjoying this.


Karen insisted that she was slower than the rest of us because she had punched more holes in her butterly pattern than everyone else.


By the end of the evening, we all had beautiful string art butterfly cards to show.
