Weaving with Metal Foil - An easy metal weaving process
Check out the new course I added in my Fiber Studio - Weaving with Metal Foil. In this course, I include a 24 page workbook that gives you all the details about tools, materials, techniques, and processes to give you a good foundation for experimenting with this material. Easy to work with, you can cut it with scissors and manipulate it by hand with just a few tools. There are many possible applications in jewelry, basketry or vessels, sculptural forms, or as a mixed media material.
I also include 2 video lessons on creating a metal tray woven from the foil and a plaited pendant. I've been investigating this material over the last 30 years and have incorporated these techniques in my own ...

    I saw you wear gloves, I have trigger thumbs and possibly others. Do they help your hands?

      They do help, in a supportive way. The compression does soothe my hands as I work - I like them!

    Hi, thanks for posting. Can you please tell me the name/type of fabric used for the sails of the ship. Many thanks

    • @ExploreFiber
      @ExploreFiber Год назад

      Yes - it was cheesecloth. You can separate cheesecloth out for 1, 2, 3 or 4 layers. I can't recall how many layers my student used, but it was at least 2, maybe 4. When looking at the material, you can make a decision about how many you think would be appropriate for your project. Hope this helps!

      A silk chiffon works nicely for nuno felting - it has an open structure that allows the wool fibers to move through it and bond.

    Can mod podge do the same

    • @ExploreFiber
      @ExploreFiber 3 года назад

      Tristan - I'm not sure, BUT I don't think it would have the same strength that Paverpol has. Once applied, it can make a fabric VERY hard & strong. And, the larger the object, the more strength the produce you use needs to work - so Mod Podge might work on something small, but not as well on something large. You should do your own testing to see what will happen! Good luck!

    Awesome. I have used this same technique but with Kool-Aid and snow. It was fun and the colors came out great. I have gotten super results just using Kool-Aid and vinegar to help set the colors, for those who don't want to invest in a more expensive dye.
