Welcome!
Discover with me how I create mixed media with both fabric and paper.
In this class I will show you how I create, layer, and assemble what I call Strips and Fragments from paper and fabric. I will go over techniques I use for hand painting and dying fabric. We will be stamping with both rubber and foam stamps. I'll show you what inks and paints I use.
We will also discuss protecting fragile papers to use in a collage. Why make them? How I choose, and why I use the materials that I do. I will talk about adhesives and machine versus hand stitching. I will give no sew options as well.
Showcase Your Art
Use Strips and Fragments to create simple wallhangings or art quilts. I will give measurements for creating a simple fabric background.
You can make many things with your unique Snippet Strips and Fragments.
Altered Book
Use your Strips and Fragments to create my favorite way to alter a book or to create a fabric book. We will use paper and fabric and make a book in class.
It's All About the Layers
Fragments can be created in any size. I will show you how I make and use them for many of my projects. Combine embroidery, paper, and fabric to create mixed media layers
Home Dec
I use my strips and fragments to decorate everyday items, like my paper clip holder on my desk.
