I'm trying to get into the whole deviant art thing again properly. I've got a new profile with my business name on it and I'll hopefully be adding a lot of my new work up there soon. Come visit me!! melted-fabrics (https://www.deviantart.com/melted-fabrics)

I've now written a How- To book on CDR about the textiles techniques and processes I use. It's £12.00 GBP and available from my website http://www.meltedfabrics.com Click here to see more info and what's inside: http://www.meltedfabrics.com/MeltedBook.htm

wonderful body of work! i enjoyed browsing your gallery. you have a distinctive appealing style that i'm will carry you far.
Hi Rach,

I'm not sure how often you look here anymore, but I'm just getting back into doing textiles stuff now, and I thought I'd have another look at your gallery. How have you been doing with selling stuff down your end of the country?
(even though you haven't posted anything since October 2006 d:)
oh wow, I really love the way you work with the materials... I think I need to watch you!
Amazing shite here! I'm a textiler myself, graduated with first class weave degree. You have an amazing skill here!!
Hi i just looked at your website (which by the way is really cool) But i was just wondering if you were trained in textiles or if you went to fashion college or anything (Its a long story i am mid a-levels and have dropped art and now i have major second thoughts )
So yeah was just wondered
Sorta need all the help i can get at the moment
Hi! Thank you!
I studied textiles at school and specialised in it but for degree I studied Costume- in my final year I got back into textiles and I've been doing it ever since. So I haven't had the full textiles training I could have had. I hope that helps. I'm not sure it's something you have to be trained in, I think I would have hated textiles if I'd had to do it full-time for someone else to mark. I think I learnt a lot more from experimenting than I ever did from being taught.
I hope that helps. Good luck with whatever you decide to do!
