The day started really wet and thundery for the May meeting of Itchen Valley Lacemakers.
But the atmosphere in the hall was bright and cheery.
There were about 40-45 ladies . . and Christopher all making lace, knitting or beading.
We also had 3 new members which is always nice to see.
We had a lovely lady called Jan teaching 8 of us how to make silk paper.
The aim of the day was to make a notebook or notepad cover.
Only Launa finished a book, we were enjoying the process of actually making the silk paper so much that we kept making more pieces.
We painted, sprinkled and sprayed away all morning and half the afternoon. . . it was great.
Keep scrolling down to see some of our lovely 'papers'.
All the paper was so different to each other but it was all fab, i look forward to finishing my books
