Welcome to the Melted Fabrics Ning Community!

This group is all about textiles, mix media textiles, fibre art and related crafts, whether melted or not.

I will be posting craft work I've produced recently and please feel free to do the same, ask questions or just hang out!

Please introduce yourself here.

We will be having a weekly craft challenge (they will be running from friday - friday). Feel free to join in or just watch and see what we get up to.

Let people know more about you and show off your craftwork on your own page (you'll find this by clicking on "My Page" on the obnoxiously coloured pink bar above!). You can even have your own blog!

I'm looking forward to meeting you! Thanks everyone!
