A good coat of looking at …. WOYWW


As you can see I’ve been doing a lot of thinking
Giving jobs a good coat of looking at


and experimenting 


Started off gelli printing 


Then got sidetracked


 I couldn’t get this You Tube video I’d watched on turning paper into fabric out of my head


 So I had to have a go. It’s a Japanese technique called Momigami.
No idea where I’m going with it, so I’ll come back
with the results another time.


To make way for it I’ve moved all my No Rules Textile Society
work to one side of the wall.


Then I got distracted again and rejigged some of the shelves in my studio.
Honestly it’s like that thing with housework that you end up with six jobs
on the go at once.  Not that I do a lot of housework, so I’ve no idea how I
would know that fact.

Have a lovely crafty week deskhoppers.

  1. You read my mind. I've been so interested in the paper "netting" technique and I love love love your sample. It's fab. And have done momigami loads, but combining the two is cool. Love it. Do more...and share :D
    Quick scoot round before knitting WOYWW!

  3. I can well imagine you will be putting some stitching into that piece of Japanese fabric - it looks yummy now so whatever it turns into will be brilliant.
    Love your montage at the top of your post.

  6. Hi Lynn, long time no see!
    I haven't heard of momigami either, but it looks very. interesting and I can't wait what the next step is in the process.
    I recognized the fabric of the bunting in the second photo. I have a table cloth like that.
    I'm like you and go from job to job as I live alone and I get easily distracted.
    Happy WOYWW,
    Lisca

  7. I haven't heard of momigami either, but it looks stunning! I look forward to where your creativity takes you. I'm always sidetracked with a bit of this and bit of that, your creativity needs to flow.......that's why housework needs to wait! Happy WOYWW, have a great rest of the week. Michelle x #18

  8. I admire your creativity and I think getting sidetracked is just part of the process and thus a must :-) The momigami technique sounds intriguing. I wonder if it would help if I gave the housework a good coat of looking at :-) xxx

    1. Definitely give the house a good coat of looking at Ann, then go and have a coffee and a cake in the nearest cafe before the idea of cleaning takes hold xx

  12. Hello Lynn, I like that, a 'good coat of looking at'. I do that a lot, especially in my craft room that really needs worked at not looked at! I enjoy catching up on your experiments. Look forward to seeing just what you do with turning paper into fabric. Off to give my garden a good coat of looking at. Have a wonderful weekend. Elizabeth x #9
