Members used cocoon strippings to create a thin silk layer, onto which were placed pressed flowers, skeleton leaves, threads, etc.  This was then sprayed with colours.  After ironing to create the silk sheet, sometimes incorporating sinemay, texture was added with throwsters waste, metal flakes, ribbon etc.  Rubber mouldings were also used to create texture and pattern.  Everyone enjoyed the day and we are looking forward to Sarah's new book on the subject which will be out in November.
