Powertex workshop makes

Hello lovelies! How are you? I hope you are doing good. Last wednesday and this wednesday I spent a couple of hours in Carnforth at Rowantree crafts  learning about powertex. On the first day we spent time learning about and playing with powertex and making a canvas and figure. On the second day, with it all dry, we decorated our projects.


This is the canvas .....


here's a close up... I used bronze powertex and used their paints and varnish on top. The main colour was a green colourtrix. This was really just a technique based learning exercise.

The main piece was the figure....


This one was made again using the bronze powertex and a dishcloth plus some torn pieces of teeshirt. Plus some netting.


It was great fun ruching the fabric and getting all the folds. I'm really chuffed with it and will defintely be making more stuff!!!

Have a great day!!!

Big hugs

Rachel xx

    I did a powertex workshop in coventry last september and enjoyed the canvas that we got to make. Bought a kit to use at home but not attempted nything with it yet. Your figure looks gorgeous. I love the ruching that you have achieved wrapping the cloth around . Looks just like clothing. Hugs to you and the girls. Hugs Mrs A.

    You are so lucky to get to work with Powertex! I have been wanting to get my hands on some! I've even tried to figure out how it's made:):), so I can make my own! Great designs you've made! Hugs!
