About RareLizzie

Hello,

My name is Liz Welch and I am a textile artist working in Nottingham UK. My passions include my family, my textile work and Friendly Plastic. Friendly Plastic is a wonderful modelling material that can be used to make a huge variety of things from jewellery and accessories, to household items (boxes, bowls, vases etc), through masks, bags and other related textile applications, all the way to full blown costumes. I love them all.

A common thread throughout my work is my use of the computer as a design tool, whether it is for textiles, jewellery, cards, photos, costume, or just for the fun of it; I love touse the computer to help me go where I want to go. If you want to know more about this aspect of the creative process just check out the page on the blog called Computers for Design

I run my own business called Rare Bird Ltd which is based around Friendly Plastic and how to use it, as well as creating craft DVDs on this and other subjects. check it out at www.rarebird.ltd.uk. You will find lots of ideas, projects, gallery images and all the stuff you need to create things with Friendly Plastic.

Hi Val,
No, that is probably down to my total ineptitude at putting out the right information. lizwelch@rarebird.ltd.uk is the one you want. Can’t wait to see them!

Oh my goodness! I’ve been out of commission for some time (had an emergency hospital admission, spent a long time in recovery and then dropped the ball on my blog!) and only just read that I won a prize with you last June! 😀 I’ll understand if you gave the prize to someone else as I couldn’t get back to you, but if it’s still there….let me know how to collect it and I’ll get my details to you.

I’m so sorry for my rudeness in not replying before now! Even if the prize went to another commenter, thanks for choosing my comment anyway. It made me smile. 🙂

Hello Gill,
It sounds as though you have been through the mill. I hope you are all ok now. I sent the prizes off to Zoe more than a year ago now, and am not sure what happened to yours, but I am checking for you. If you email me your address, I am sure I can come up with something suitable if your prize was given to someone else.
Liz
