On a photograph of my favorite waterfall, which was run through the Xyron for adhesive, I recreated the scene in fibers. Matching thread was used in the sewing machine to overstitch the fibers, therby flattening them and holding them permanently in place.
How long have I been holding on to these little basket stickers? Just long enough! I stuck them to an irridescent sheet and applied Easter egg eyelets in and around them. The holes looked a little naked so after mounting onto the base card I glued a little rhinestone in the center hole of each egg.
I painted this ceramic frame on my cruise in January. I designed it myself and painted using brushes. I used a fine-tip squeeze bottle to add black outline to everything to mimic the look of pen-and-ink.
I designed this new cross for paper embroidery. First is the pricking layout for the holes:
Then the guide for stitching between the holes:
I'd love to see the results of your use of this pattern.
I learned how to do bandana print from another art blog. I used glossy cardstock and applied a polished stone background sans the metallics. I spritzed with rubbing alcohol and then dried to get a washed red background. Over this I stamped images in black Staz-On. When this was dry I used a white paint pen to sketch details on the stamped images.
The background of the card is denim printed tissue paper. The pocket is a sticker that has a fold-in flap to make the pocket useable. Into it I tucked a tag with a greeting and I glued rhinestones where the rivets would be.
You want a new alphabet? Here it is! I designed this as a sketch on paper and then did the final rendition digitally in CorelDraw.
Nothing specific in mind for it - just wanted to design my own font.
