Monica gave a superb presentation (when we had eventually sorted the technical problems) of her work on tassels. It was very obvious that she had thoroughly researched the subject and was very passionate about this mainly long lost embellishment.
She uses traditional ideas with a twist, and loves experimenting with contemporary techniques and reclaimed materials- very on trend theses days and a great way to use up some of your long ago purchases.
Below are a couple of her tassels (photos with her permission)
Monica will talk about the general use of tassels, and how she has used them in her work. She explains how she has adapted traditional methods to use recycled items.
The colour raffle for November is Blue- please bring donations of blue items eg buttons, threads, beads, sequins, fabric etc. for a chance to win a bag of blue goodies.
