Samples and things

Thread clippings on Solvy and net, overstitched and washed, Organza stitched and then burned off over a cotton print and another sample to demo

Tomorrow is the second in my three session class on multi media/ embellishment. I do NOT travel light, as you saw last week. We went over a lot of techniques and materials and tried out a number of tools and I HOPE people come tomorrow with some fun things done, ready to start creating a masterpiece of interesting textures . I made this sample board to refresh the memory on some of the things we did last week. Thought you may be interested, but I am pretty sure you have done all of these and more besides.

Dryer sheets collaged and painted and overstitched 

A very bad GelliArts print on Cotton , painted and some quilting done

Not part of the class but I THINK this is ready to bind now. I am very happy with the texture!

From top left in a clockwise direction- melted, painted Tyvek, melted biscuit wrapper, painted, stitched bubble wrap and melted beaded Acrylic felt

A good and a bad sample of Angelina Fibre. Hard to see. The bad one was ironed too hot! Makes the sheen disappear:-(

Heavily stitched in thick cotton threads  on acrylic felt, then burned with a heat gun
