Hi,
I posted a photo of a lutradur/tyvek piece I made in my Adventurous Quilts album on my page----I don't know how to post a photo directly here! I'm still learning....

Becci, the Surplus Store that I wrote about is The Yard. We all walk their from work quite frequently. You just never know what you will find. Of course there is always Boing Surplus but I'm not really sure. We will have to keep an eye out for unusual places and items.

Connie, do you think "The Yard" in Wichita would have stuff like that?

Man Arlee, am I going to have to come all the way to Canada to go to the Metal Supermarket? We do have a Surplus store here and I might find something to work with there. :You never know what you will find however so one cannot depend on anything.
Ok, I'm off to paint one of my leather purses that I tired of.

In Canada, i shop at Metal Supermarket---look for industrial suppliers of metal--they often have copper and brass shim at VERY reasonable prices, in larger sizes than "craft" stores.

So, now that we all have the books, does anyone have a good place to buy metal thin enough to sew through with your machine?

Thanks Arlee for the information. Every bit of information helps.

You can also order Alysn Midgelow-Marsden's book directly from her at her beetroot gallery

Thank you Paula and welcome to our group wich is really growing. I think I need to post a challenge.
And Paula, please don't forget to post some photo's of your work - especially the Tyvek and Lutradur.
I just purchased the more textured and heavier Tyvek yesterday for my new students (of course for me too). This session I'm going to have them try for some lacy samples and experiments.
Again Welcome to our group Paula. Feel free to post anything you like about using unusual materials and how you manipulated them. Especially if you are using a heat gun, iron, or other heat source.
We are the HOT Chix.
