all Threaded Together are pleased to showcase aspects of our art textiles on a thematic basis every other month.
APRIL - "Metals"
Diana
Ironing metallic sweet wrappers gives a range of
effects depending which side you iron, how hot the iron is and the
thickness of the foil. This one, from a large Cadburys bag, gives the
effect of molten lava and can be coloured before incorporating into a
textile pieces with fabric or felt.
Goldwork and other metallic additions to fabric as samples.

Over several years I have experimented with metals in my art work. It's a lovely contrast with the soft and pliable fabric.
I've used: Copper gauze; metallic sweet wrappers; chain; washers and cogs.
