Tag, You're It



More tissue paper yarn. This is spun with:

Purple tissue paper printed with white hearts
Pink Mulberry Paper
Dip-dyed Rice paper
Rayon thread
Sale tags

The Best Laid Plans

My plans for the morning consisted of
spinning
my bowl of tissue paper strips.
I wanted to get it done first thing this morning
because I want to try spinning some other papers
however
TESSIE
decided it would be more fun for us to spend the morning playing with her
 Hedgehog
which reappeared yesterday after a long absence
(put away in the cupboard).
Tessie is hard to resist. She always looks like she can't imagine that you would want to do anything but play with her! Sometimes she brings me toy after toy hoping that one of them will interest me. But today it is all

And More Spinning

So why not try spinning paper.
I have been saving all the tissue that comes in packages from
Camp Verde Store.
I folded the tissue, put it through my shredder
and core spun it around a base yarn.
It would have been better if the yarn had been tan.
I don't like seeing those white places in the yarn,
but I will just spray them with a little walnut ink.
I crocheted the results of my first try.
One sheet of tissue made enough to start this
 "object"
which is about three inches square
Where am I going with this?
I haven't a clue.

Flower Power

This morning I am trying to make flowers by crocheting
fabric yarn or handspun "art yarn" into a cup shape.
I made two from each material.
I think they will work out, but I don't think I have the
right combination of hook and fiber. Also, the button centers
are more interesting then the flowers don't you think?
I will keep at it though and let you know what happens!
