WOYWW

 Happy WOYWW, its actually the 3rd....yep, 3rd Anniversary!!


So for something a bit different, my desk looks the same as last week (nice weather means 2 weeks of no crafting as I have been gardening), and it contains the ATC I have made for the 3rd anniversary swap, so this is my kitchen worktop instead!



I have been trying my hand at bonding manmade fabrics with a soldering iron, these are my first couple of pieces.

This one I used a penny to cut the fabric with the soldering iron and cut various shapes from different fabrics, layering them before 'gluing' them by melting them together.

Now this produces a lot of fumes, so I did this on the hob with the extractor fan turned on and wearing a respirator......my hubbies face when he came home was a picture!!
 
So, if you would like to see workdesks from over the world, the amazing phenomenon that is now 3 years old, ruled by the Queen herself, Julia you can find the deets here.

Happy Crafting

    That's nearly as funny as when the children at Sunday school wore all my hubby's protective welding gear.
    The fabric button is a great idea. Might have to pinch that one.

    I got a big kick out of the mask. I have a book on soldering irons and synthetic fabric. Sounds like fun, fun with the proper equipment.

    Happy 3rd WOYWW Anniversary from #2.

    Participating in WOYWW is a lovely way to "meet" fellow crafters such as yourself and see what you are up each week. However, you're the first I've seen looking like an extra from a horror movie :) Happy belated 3rd WOYWW anniversary! Elizabeth x #94

    I think he would of nearly had a fit seeing you looking like that. I give your praise for being sensible and wearing the protective gear and not making yourself sick.

    Where did you come up with the idea of soldering fabric together?

    Thanks for sharing.
