Well, I have been giving some thought to the ‘keeper’ fabric and came up with a decent way to audition Shiva Paintstiks. This illustration shows about the third iteration, and the first I like. The paint for now is temporary – I applied it to Glad Press ‘n Seal™ cling wrap – you can see …
Well, spent a lot of time yesterday doing discharge. That’s in the washer right now, but I wanted to post a picture of this fabric. It turned out really neat, and I’d like to do more with it. I could make a whole-cloth wall hanging out of it and it would be just cloth and …
Well, inspired by the weekly notes from Morna Golletz of The Professional Quilter & International Association of Professional Quilters, I got the book ‘Your Best Year Yet!’ from the library today. I’ve never been a huge fan of self-improvement books, because they often seem like I’m kicking myself lower down. So far this book is …
The long-awaited day is finally here! Jane Townswick’s new book, Artful Applique II, is now in print, and for sale on my website. It’s very exciting to see my work in the book, including on the ‘Tools & Supplies’ page, plus the back cover. That’s because of Jane’s great design. All but one of the …
Took a look at Jane Dunnewold’s Daily Visuals blog again. There’s a picture of hostas on it that reminded me of a picture I took several years ago. Here’s the original picture, plus two cropped versions. The white bits are apple blossoms, mostly. What do you think? Thanks!
A friend put me on to Lisa Walton’s inspirational site. Go there and look (by clicking on the title of this post.) Got to go muck about with my website now. (Grrrr)
Well, there have been no posts here for a month, due to the three week job interlude. Yep, I made it three whole weeks – a new personal best, er, worst. You name it, it went wrong. So, now I am thinking of re-thinking the whole thing, which is just putting major stress on DH. …
Wow – close to a month since my last post. Lots of good excuses – you know the story. So anyway, after the Christmas last minute projects were done, I got started on a piece of art cloth which I have entered in the ‘Never Static’ show. The juror is Jane Dunnewold — nothing like …
Sorry, just felt the need to rhyme. Anyhow, it’s amazing how much better the pleater works at 5 PM than 10 PM. Got the first scrap test done, and it is awesome. Heather might never get it back! (Thanks so much for the loan!) I do have it until the end of January – maybe …
Well, it’s now been two weeks since posting here. At least I have some dyed goods to show off. I also made some bead necklaces that my sister bought, but no pics of those.The textiles include dyed broadcloth, cheesecloth (first picture) and muslin, painted sheers plus some green cheesecloth that is in the midst of …
