If you're like me, you find products at the quilt, craft, and art stores that you just HAVE to have! Then six months later, you're cleaning up your studio and find the product and think to yourself "I should use this..but what do I do with it?" For a long time I had this exact issue with my Angelina Fibers. So one day I decided to just play with them. I experimented with many ideas, some worked, some did not. Here are five that I really liked! 5. Stamping: Here you can use those foam stamps you have from the craft stores. The simpler the shape, the better it tends to turn out. Here I've done a small leaf stamp: 4. Trapping: In this technique you place angelina down on your parchment, then place an item like tinsel, sparkly threads, silk flowers then place another light layer of angelina on top. Place parchment on top then iron for a few seconds. Here's a sample of tinsels trapped in angelina: 3. Textures: In this technique you put angelina sheeting or loose fibers in between or on top of textural items. Check these out! Netting: Put the sheet between two layers of netting, place parchment on top, iron for a few seconds pressing down firmly. The pink is the angelina sheet, the darker is the loose fibers. You can also use the netted lingerie bags too! You can also place the angelina on top of texture items - especially things like these very affordable woven placemats: 2. Roving: In this technique you get to use two things you may have stockpiled and not done a whole lot with yet; roving and angelina. You simply take a little of both, put them together and tug, pull and mash it together until it looks the way you want. This can then be needle felted into other pieces. 1. Angelina Beads: You can even use angelina fibers to make beads! Check out my video on how to do it! (Please keep in mind I am just starting to learn my video editing software!)

Angelina fibers - what it is, how to use it and some experimenting with this very cool looking metallic shimmer. Have you ever heard about a fiber called "angelina"? I hadn't until I got this little bag to try out. It's a very cool material that melts into a fabric-like surface when you iron it.
One of the many perks of being a textile artist is that you get to play with all sorts of fun and creative products, and Angelina Fiber is definitely one of those fun products. If you’re not familiar…

You will need: Angelina fibres Wooden barbeque stick Heat gun Angelina fibres Tease out some angelina fibres and twist them round the wooden barbeque stick so it is as long or as thick as you want it Then holding the heat gun about 6-8 inches away from the fibres use your heat gun to heat the fibres, twisting the stick to heat the fibres evenly. The fibres will fuse together very quickly (much quicker than Tyvek!) so don't get too close or heat for too long. Let the bead cool down and push off the stick You end up with beads that look like silky cocoons. The bead can be sewn in the regular manner by passing a need and thread through it or couched down by sewing over the bead Here I tried mixing two colours of Angelina fibres together Twist the fibres around the stick I added a little bit of pink! Heat as described above and very quickly you will end up with a little pile of gorgeous shimmery beads BEFORE FOLLOWING ANY OF THESE TECHNIQUES - PLEASE READ THE HEALTH AND SAFETY NOTICE HERE

Shh, don't want to frighten her off by saying it too loudly, but I think my mojo has returned from her holidays... Here is a wall hanging, made for a swap on the theme of 'heart-felt' - it had to include a heart made from felt. This is all needlefelted, some by hand, most by embellisher machine, with a little hand beading to finish it off. Firstly, I embellished two layers of organza together, all over but just enough to hold them together. One layer was a light shimmery blue, the other was a bluey green shot with a yellowy greeny gold. I'm not sure you can see the difference in colour, but this picture has the blue side uppermost: This picture has the bluey green side uppermost. I like this side better, so this is the top. I used two colours of merino wool rovings, this colour matches the background colour. I spread it out on my base, and embellished it in. The colour of the other roving is a much brighter turquoisey blue. I am blending more of the blue into the green with each layer. Added some more blended rovings. I decided I had enough general texture, and needed something to take my eye around the piece. I twisted some of the blue rovings together and embellished them onto the piece in a curvy line. I added some silk tops to bring in some more colour and a shiny texture. These are hand dyed by Oliver Twists. I love their stuff. It's probably a good thing they don't have a website, because I *only* spend about £50 a year on their goodies at shows. If they had a website, I'm sure it would run into hundreds.... You might have noticed that the theme of this piece is 'heartfelt' and there's no heart? I have not yet mastered the embellishing machine to a high enough level to create shapes, so I got the hand needle felting equipment out. I laid a thin layer of red rovings vertically, another horizontally, and the top layer was vertical again. I put a heart shaped cutter on top, and needled the layers together. It's quite therapeutic, you can relieve tension by imagining you're stabbing voodoo dolls while you're being creative! I wasn't intending to finish the heart by hand, just to needle it enough so that I could lift it off the brush in one piece. I used a dull red, a brighter red, and then added some more silk rovings down the centre for a bit of shine and a different texture. Next, I embellished it onto the background, layering some gold 'angelina' I bought about 10 years ago, when I didn't realise you could buy angelina that didn't fuse together. I knew it would come in handy one day! It just adds little subtle glitz. Just a bit more glitz needed, so I put the piece in an embroidery frame and beaded around the heart, and also onto the curvy line. All it needed to finish was to be mounted on gold mirror card, with a mountboard backing for stability. I added a little fine brass wire hanging loop, and put it into the jiffy bag to mail before I could change my mind and keep it.... Hope my partner likes it.
