Sacred Geometry 2 Blog Hop and Giveaway

-
I'm excited to share these newest stencils from Artistcellar with you:  Sacred Geometry 2.
I love me a good stencil and these are four great stencils.


I had fun playing with the stencils in lots of different ways. I could break this post down into three blog posts, but I'll share it all here.  I hope you are ready!

I wanted to see if I could create a repeat pattern so I pulled out the notebook and traced:


I really liked the way the stencil design looked without all of the spaces traced.  
I filled in the shapes with zentangly doodles.



This was so relaxing.


Next, I had to see if I could make a stamp from on the images.  
I have been a little obsessed with stamp making lately.  
The image was transferred on to the rubber by patting an ink pad over the stencil:


I didn't want to waste the corner so I added another part of the stencil there.  


No one said the stamp had to be exactly like the stencil!


I like the repeat on this stamp!


I think it would be a fun background on fabric or paper.

And last but not least, I had to give them a try on fabric. I soaked some cotton PFD fabric (prepared for dyeing) in soda ash and allowed it to air dry before dabbing Color Magnet through the stencils.  


  Once the Color Magnet dried, I placed each piece in a zip lock bag and added diluted procion DX fabric dyes.  I neglected to photograph the final fabrics but I believe you can see the designs in the wallhanging created with them.


I had a lot of fun with these new stencils!
If you want a chance to play with them too, just leave a comment on this blog post before midnight PST, March 9th, and I will announce a winner on the 10th.  If you would like more chances to win these stencils AND get a chance to see all the awesome art work people have created with them then visit the following blogs:

Absolutely LOVE what you have done with the stencil! The take on your zentangle renditions - so original and they rock! The stamp is wonderful! I so would like to try the Color Magnet... we do not see this here, so I will look in Syracuse this summer.

Gelli Plate Tutorial with Leaves

-
Image
Here's the Gelli Plate Tutorial you asked for! My Gelli plate has been well used and well loved. 1. Place Gelli Plate on a flat, covered working surface, and place small dots of paint onto the plate.  My demo photos are with me using acrylics and paper but it works exactly the same with fabric paint and fabric.  I like using Jacquard Textile paint when I make fabric prints. 2. Use a brayer to spread the paint evenly across the plate. 3.  I used the leaves as a resist for the first print. 4. Place the paper/fabric on top of the printing plate and smooth it out nicely to get an even print. 5.  Carefully lift up the paper/fabric. Found a photo from when I printed the fabric - see same process. This is a first print. 5.  I know that MONOprinting means ONE print but seriously, when you remove the leaves from the plate there are these beautifully textured leaves left on the plate just dying to be printed.  I couldn't ignore t...

Fabric Printing at Home Blog Tour

About two months ago I wrote a review about the book Fabric Printing at Home written by my friend, Julie B. Booth . Today I'm going to show you one of the things I learned from her book and then give you an opportunity to win a copy of the book for yourself. I used a hot glue gun to create a design onto a toilet paper roll.  I was impatient and didn't seal the toilet paper roll with white glue or a gel medium before creating my design.   I inserted a short roller handle that one can find at the local hardware store into the toilet paper roll. . .   . . . and used my 3x5" Gelli Plate as a paint palette.  I rolled the paint across a sample piece of fabric. . . . . .first going long ways. . .  . . .and then again short ways. I really like the texture this provides whether I go once or twice across the fabric and I'm gladly adding it to my art "toolbox."  Have you tried something like this before?  What ha...

Quilt National

My husband and I took a red-eye flight to Columbus, Ohio, and then drove the one hour to Athens, Ohio, to attend the opening of the Quilt National quilt show where my piece, Wild Flowers was being shown. Made a stop at Tim Horton's, a Canadian chain for some delicious breakfast sandwiches and donut holes. We went to the Kennedy Art Museum, on the Ohio University campus. This is the side of the building. Photo of the front of the building from the cleveland.com website. The building was designed in the 1860s by Cleveland architect Levi Scofield, and was originally part of the Athen's Lunatic Asylum. It opened in 1996 as the Kennedy Museum of Art. There were some lovely prints, paintings and exhibits. It didn't take long to tour, which was good for my knees. I was glad to be able to see this Elizabeth Catlett print. I admire her work. I've seen some of her her other prints in person, and was anxious to also see this one. Friday evening, the Quilt National show opened, and...
