From Pamela Chasen in Montreal, Canada . . . .
A beautiful silk bag has arrived for our swap from Pamela Chasen in Montreal, Canada. Pam writes, "I enjoyed creating this bag. The lining is cotton that I dyed. The outside is silk, hand-dyed by me using shibori techniques. The background silk surface of the pouch (front pocket) is also handmade by me, embellished with Angelina fibers, mesh and other threads. I also made the cord of the bag by twisting three different fibers and machine sewing them together. I hope the recipient of this bag enjoys using it as much as I enjoyed making it." I am sure they will Pam : ) thanks so much! Here is a new close-up that I scanned because the flash of my camera did not let you see the work on the pocket Pam created as you should . . . . click on any picture for more detail.
Another wonderful set of three ATCs for our swap! This set has come in from Pamela Chasen in Montreal, Canada. They are very beautiful and different, made with some kind of open cloth as well as other things. Thank you, Pam for participating! I am glad you had 'huge fun' making them. Pam writes that these were her first ATCs she ever made; again, I am in awe. Click on the photos for a closer view.
