maiden voyage

Succumbed to a deal.Yesterday i went to the Elna distributor in the other side of town to get a twin needle.While there i asked for a quote to convert my -cheap- bought- for- that -purpose- sewing- machine into an embellisher.The nice attendant said that hourly rate for the technician would be steep and added that they had embellishers to go. They had bought many of them and were stuck with 10 as the craft had fell out of fashion.( go figure why) She said that the original price was 300€, but that i could have one for 80€ as they were trying to get rid of the stock.
Now i am a sucker for bargains.Therefore i ran to the ATM and you can see a photo above.
Granted it's not a top brand, but i don't really care, because basically what i'm buying is a motor.

Here's my first try on the machine's maiden voyage. It works .It's very quiet.It's smooth.
Dare i ask for more?
When husband-san got home i showed him the maiden and oversimplifying, i said it was a felt making machine.His jaw dropped in a panic attack as he asked if i was going to flood the studio with water. i replied that it was needle felt, dry felt, and he said he had just fallen in love with the new gizmo. LOL!

Now i just need a spreadsheet for establishing ratios between available time and all those techniques.

before i digress

One more stop at the water lilies woven series.The one on the left was the weaving on the loom.
The one on the right embellished and finished.The colors are truer on that image.But something about the composition bothers me.
There's a big work digression coming up :)
