The Final Countdown

Today is day 10 in the mini collage series.  You can see them all here, with links to the original post by clicking the picture.

Some of them will be on view at the Festival of Quilts.  We’ll be there on stand H22, so come along and see what we have to offer, and talk about any of the online courses or other workshops that may interest you.  Time is running out for preparation.  We leave early tomorrow.  Hope to see you there.  I’ll be demonstrating scrinchies from time to time, don’t miss it!

Paper Fabric Tutorial

I love working with paper.  Recently I’ve embarked upon a ‘collage a day‘ exercise, but there are other ways in which I use paper.  One of the things I love to do is to convert flimsy tissue into a substantial surface that will work like a fabric.  It isn’t ‘fabric paper’, this is different, and is a technique I’ve been using for nearly 20 years.  Do let me know if you give it a go.  Lovely effects are possible and you can find all the details here.

Collage a Day

Today I am embarking on a small series of collages each day.  They are postcard size, approx 6″ x 4″ and they will be featured here.

Made using hand-dyed papers, and executed without much thought or indecision, they are intended as investigations into colour etc.  There is more information on the above post, so do take a look.

If there is enough interest I thought it would be good to organise a postcard swap.  Take a look and leave a comment there if you would like to join in.  Don’t forget to follow the progression over the next few days.  It will end before the Festival of Quilts which is just over a week away.  Is anyone going?  Hope to see you if you do.
