Video Tutorial: How to Cyanotype with Stencils and Chipboards

A new obsession?! No way, just curious and eager to find a new way to dye fabric. Despite blue is my second last favourite colour I really love how this bunch of fabrics turned out. I started from an old white bed linen, cut in squares, and here's how it works:

I've found a new way to use my stencils (the dirtier the better):

This is a first experiment on paper, need more tests and playing:

Upcycled Fabric Coiled Jewels

Oooops, I did it again!! :-D Couldn't resist making some more fabric coiled jewels, I've already wore the pendant, it is so my stile: perfect on jeans and black shirt or dress!

Here's a short video process...I've made them from an old t-shirt:

If you like to learn and master this technique here's an ebook I wrote, available in my Etsy shop:

New GelliArts stencil galore!

And today some samples using my new stencils designed for GelliArts® using NOT my beloved Gelli plate but Distress Oxide and some scratching paper (I love this product, scratch with a stick following the stencil design and that's it, very effective):

Video Tutorial:Handmade Specimen Cards with Grafix

And here we are with the latest collaboration post with Grafix! I had this idea to make a set of specimen cards, and I confess I struggled a bit at start, but then I found the right size and medium, and in the end I really like how these turned out (maybe I am biased with anything colourful). The trasparent effect you get printing on the Grafix Inkjet Backed adhesive film is gorgeous, definitely one on my favourite product out there. Enjoy the video!

Here's a short video feauturing them:

Fabric Tea Bags Galore!

Stitch by stitch by stitch...I needed to keep my hands busy, what better way than a small stitched project? But small doesn't mean fast, so it takes several months to finish these slow stitched tea bags, but I liked the result I got and these are easy to store/hide somewhere, at least :-D
