FB16 New!

fb16

fb16

A sculptured, petal shaped block with many possibilities. We think this block has a lot going for it. Perhaps you could use it to create a single piece, or blocked many times it could create a whole flower. The one shown is 250mm long, but we could really make it any size you like and perhaps one of the nice things about a block like this is that each one will be different, just like the real thing.

Price £178.00 (£148.33 ex VAT) - 250mm long.

Price for other sizes on request.

FB12 Oval outline - 310mm long by 290mm wide

FB7, FB8 & FB10 Saucer blocks

These three blocks feature a circular hole in the centre and once your sinamay is placed over the top, the 'bump' is formed by pressing the small dome block upside down into the hole. Place a weight on the top and then pin the sinamay round the rest of the block. Once dry the outline can be cut to any shape desired but an effective choice is to offset the 'bump' to give a high sweep up one side. Three different sizes below and all come with the pressing block included which could even be used in its own right given a little imagination.....

Pictured right is a small saucer hat made with an FB7 by Eibhilín Nic Ghiolla Bhuí.

FB7 Circular 235mm wide (bottom edge)
