Had planned to let us all get in the swing of things this week before
launching our exchange/challenges. :-)
Thought we needed to get back into Aussie Feltmakers mode, oh well!!
To give you some breathing space I will post the details of the challenge
that Stacey has also kindly agreed to organise on Monday.
Have posted the Fibre exchange details again and invite you to contact
the list if you have any concerns etc.
If possible I encourage you to take part in these, maybe you don't have
time to make something but if not it is fun to swap fibre!
Thanks to Wendy for kindly organising this exchange.
HOW
IT WORKS
Each participant sends
off bags of fibre to the co-ordinator (me) and receives different bags of
fibre back.
TYPES OF FIBRE
Any fibre suitable for
felting.
AMOUNT OF FIBRE TO
PUT IN
You put in approx 50g
for each person taking part in the exchange (e.g. if 5 people are
participating you put 4 lots of 50g in the box - you don't put one in for
yourself LOL). If you don't have enough of one colour or type of fibre
for everyone then you can put a mixture of colours or types
in.
PACKAGING OF
FIBRE
Please put each 50g lot
of fibre in a sealed cellophane or ziplock bag. Attach a label or tag to
each bag with your name, what kind of fibre it is and, if you can
remember, where you got it from (so us fibreholics can go and buy some
more LOL)
DEADLINE
Please send the fibre by
Friday 7th July. More details about the postage will be provided once I
find out how many people are
participating.
IF YOU WANT TO TAKE
PART
Please email this list
by Friday 9th June.
