Digital Journaling Cards
Before I assembled the journal I recently made, I scanned the gel plate prints and saved them as digital files. Today I used the files to make some digital journaling cards in Photoshop and printed them out onto cardstock. These cards are perfect for writing notes and...
The Daily Artistic Practice Journal
The little journal that I've been working on these past few days is now completed. The cover and pages were made using paper and fabric gel plate prints that I've been making during the past week. You can see how I progressed here. I also made a small fabric collage...
What You Seek is Seeking You
I always find it helpful to review my progress when I set a goal. It allows me to gauge if I'm on track and make any adjustments if I need to. As I look back at the last seven days of my 30 day challenge to develop a Daily Artistic Practice, I can see that I've...
How to Make Machine Wrapped Cording
Using cording to finish the edges of your sewing projects definitely adds a professional quality, however it isn't readily available in a wide variety of types or finishes which tends to limit its uses. Making your own cording is not only fun, but it can be made in...
Gel Plate Prints on Paper and Fabric
Continuing on from yesterday I finished making my gel plate prints on cardstock. Now that they are all done, I'm going to use them to make a small journal. I also managed to get some great prints on fabric. I'm going to use this for the cover of my journal. Check back...
Making Prints using a Gel Plate
After several days of making stencils and stamps, I finally made some time to try them out with my new Gel Press printing plate. I have a large gel plate which is 12" square. However just because you have a large plate, doesn't mean you have to use the complete...
DIY Glue Gun Stencils
I enjoy making my own stamps and stencils, particularly using my Silhouette Cameo, but I also enjoy making glue gun stencils, which are about as quick and easy as you can get. To make glue gun stencils, all you need is a glue gun, a teflon craft sheet, and a design....
Cutting Stamps using the Silhouette Cameo
I cut several stencils the other day using my Silhouette Cameo, and today I bound the edges with some duck tape. Adding duck tape around the edges makes it easy to both see and handle the stencils, particularly as they are made out of transparent Grafix Dura-Lar...
Up Close and Personal with Macro Photography
My new camera lens arrived yesterday and I couldn't wait to try it out so on Saturday I spent a couple of hours learning how to use it and then I took a few photos around the back yard. This lens is a Tamron AF 70-300mm F/4.5-5.6 Di LD with a Macro feature designed to...
Getting Started Creating a Daily Artistic Practice
I've been wondering what to do with this pile of hand-dyed fabrics that I've been collecting for quite a few years now, and rarely look at anymore. (I'm a little embarrassed that I can't even close the lid on that container any more.) There's a lot of small pieces...
