Hi

Has anyone worked with Angelina Fibres? I purchased some at a craft show and have found them amazing...
Has anyone used them in their appliques...? I would love to see what you have done...
You can get some beautiful effects.
Best Regards Lynn

I believe angelina fibers are mylar that is shredded. I have not worked with the shredded type of mylar. Yes the effect of mylar is gorgeous so I am sure the shreds are also I just never thought to try them.

I just read your post in projects for the design using Angelina Fibers. Here in the states we can buy the sheets of Mylar or the Angelina Fibers which is basically shredded Mylar. I have not used the fibers and after reading the process in which to use it (ironing them to melt them into a sheet) I think the sheets are easier.
I am not sure however if you use the dyed fibers if the melting process helps when wanting to use colors. Here if you use the dyed Mylar when the item is washed the dye washes out. The link I posted sells Mylar in the USA and overseas. She also has a ton of information so click on everything and read it all if you want more info on Mylar.
