Lutradur book, Oliver Twists Sticks & Stones, Goddess Sheet
Lutradur and the New Fibers by Wendy Cotterill is a guide to using Lutradur (of course!) and other spun bonded materials including Tyvek and nappy liners. She paints, prints, fuses, burns, stencils, stamps, foils and transfers with these durable materials, with fabulous effects and textures.
Oliver Twists Sticks and Stones are a collection of 5 silk carrier rods and 10 silk cocoons dyed in the signature Oliver Twist style: beautiful! Use them for embellishing art quilts, fusing, felting, 3d work…
We now stock the Godess Sheet! In case you don’t know, the Goddess Sheet is simply THE BEST non-stick sheet to use for all your pressing, fusing, sticky-stuff needs. It is transparent, Teflon coated fiberglass with a right and wrong side marked with a curve. Your MistyFuse will fuse to your fabric with a shine, making it so easy to identify later (ok, I have fused the wrong side of my fabric to my iron too many times before finding this gem). Love love love this!
Silk Paper String restock, weirdo shipping fixed & more
Silk Paper String
I love this stuff! It’s a very strong fibrous string that has not been twisted or plied – it’s just long, strong, paper-like silk fiber with serecin. What is serecin? Think of it as the glue that holds silk fibers together in the cocoon. Normally serecin is washed out of silk before it is processed. When it’s left in the fiber, you can mist or lightly wet the fiber, then set it with an iron to make things like instant silk paper. Silk that still has its serecin is commonly known as “gummy silk”, even though it feels dry and not at all gummy. It is typically of a courser nature than silk with the serecin removed.
About our shipping…
I discovered a weird problem with the shipping calculator where sometimes one lightweight item would give a shipping charge of a USPS large flat rate box. That was NOT correct! Please, if you noticed something strange like that, drop us a note so we can fix it. I’m pretty sure it’s fixed now.
