Adding More Jewelry to Fabric - Material Musings

Today we look at some of the jewelry and beaded pieces and how we are going to attach them to fabric.

These are pieces that you can do ahead of time, look through your supplies and see what pieces can go together. The more time you spend in you supplies and materials, you will begin to get more and more familiar with what you have and which pieces might work together.

Do not worry about changing your mind either if you don't like where you have placed an item, you can take stitching out and reposition the beads or change the colors it is up to you!

That is experimenting is about an you have to give yourself space and time to do so.

Enjoy!

Using your Fabric to Uplift - Material Musings

 

In Material Musings I look at some of the ways that I use my fabrics and projects both finished and unfinished to lift my spirits or encourage myself.  We know that art heals and encourages and enables you to express yourself when you do not have the words.  I find that even if you are not able to do a creative project then even sitting with your supplies can help.

What are the things that you do when you need to give yourself a lift?

Free Digital Art Papers - Patreon FREE Tier

This month’s free digital papers on my Patreon are inspired by maps, layers, and quiet storytelling. You’re welcome to use them however you like, in an art journal, as collage elements, or simply to just enjoy working with them in your creative activities.

There’s no right or wrong way to use them and you don't need to have completed a project, you can just enjoy seeing how you like working with them, and spend some time playing.

• As an idea for a starting point, you might like to try:choosing one image and use it as a background
• cut out a circle and use it as a focal point on the page
• layer a small section into a journal page in a collage
