Prudence talked
with us individually and I was taught how to wrap a wooden head called a block
with stiff millinery canvas. I cut a
section on the bias and pinned into place while wet then blow dyed it to a
stiff form. I left it there at the studio (see photo) to
await more work, next week. I got a nasty blister on my ring finger from pushing all those pins in!
I paid
attention as she taught two other students how to use the gelatin to stiffen
soft silk satin for flower petals, as I am going to do flowers also when I get
the chance. Another student dyed fabric
to the color she wanted, see photo of her fingers that matched her camera.
