I got these fabulous letters that look like they came from a small scrabble board, thinking they would be great beads. I sat down tonight, to start putting them on Wabi Sabi, and after much searching around, and changing the light, I discovered there weren't any holes! That's what I get for buying stuff in the scrapbooking section, I guess. I just got so excited to find the tiles in the right color and size! No holes? That didn't stop ME! I just pulled out the old drill and fixed them, that's what I did!

And here's what I did with some of that pile of fiber I posted the other day. Just a small bit of it, though. I usually make a Sulky Solvable sandwich, but this time, I wanted the end product to be really soft and maybe even frazzled looking. So I used Bo Nash and I quite like the results. Bo Nash is a powdered fusible product. It is sometimes advertised on television to mend plastics and denims. Makes a nice adhesive, I gotta admit.
The sparkle in the "hair" is Angelina fibers, one of my favorites. A tiny bit goes a long way, too! I think if the picture is clicked, a much larger and closer view of the fiber is available.
Monday finds me driving cross town with Mother to the ear specialist, and then I the wee boy will be with us through lunch. Watch out in the afternoon, though. I'll be driving the sewing machine!
I'd have suggested gluing the letter tiles down, but you came up with an even better solution.
ReplyDeleteI have some Angelina around, but haven't tried it yet. Love how it looks with your fun fibers.
what a great glimpse of what you are working on...can't wait to see more...
ReplyDeleteYour Angelina looks great. When I have used it, it was much more fused together into a solid mass. This is a great project to look at--very inspiring
ReplyDeleteWoohoo to you for using those power tools. Isn't it fun!
ReplyDeleteThe Angelina looks awesome. I can't wait to see the whole thing some day soon.
OK, I keep seeing mentions of Wabi Sabi - are we suppose to know what that is (did I miss something) or is the the "secret" for when your done!???
ReplyDeleteI'm so curious!
i'm with Dawn, i think i missed that "what is a wabi sabi?" post, if there ever was one... Looks gorgeous, whatever it is!
