Material Musings - Finishing those Fabric projects

 

Welcome to Material Musings today, I am sharing one of my fabric projects with you.  I have a range of projects that are in a stage of nearing completion and I often work on small batches at a time to get a group of them complete, and move them on to their next stage.

The projects are made up of a variety of different materials, including some that have been wax resist dyed, painted and there is some slow stitching that brings it all together.

It is a lovely relaxing time to do some slow stitching while getting some of these pieces complete, and they are now ready to go on to the next stage of their journey and I will think about what additional embellishments would look good.

Have fun with your stitched projects.

Creating Faces - Digital Art Papers

 

Come and join us to get this month's digital downloads and play along in the studio. 

This Week we will be sharing three mini projects that I created from the papers.  I had a lot of fun creating the face and the doodles for this piece.

Here is one of the first images created with the papers, a figure emerging out of the background.  There are lots of things that you can do with your papers such as using them in your art journals, creating tags and so much more.

You can also take a photocopy of your completed work and then use that as a background and as paper ephemera in your art journal.  

You can get access to the papers on our Patreon platform and make the most of the 7 day FREE Trial, this will give you access to all the papers that have been previously created for the past 2 years including tutorial videos and other content.  You can also take out FREE membership and this will give you access to some of the bonus content that I create.
