may meeting

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
