2-day class coming up at Artistic Artifacts in Alexandria, VA

"Disperse Dye Transfers: Vintage Hand-Tinted Photos and More" Based on my article in the March/April 2008 issue of "Cloth Paper Scissors" We’ll focus on making transfers from black and white copies of old photos, postcards or artwork, then tint them with colored pencils. See my "Classes" section for more information.

 

 

2-Day “Paper & Fabric Collage” Class Scheduled for 2010 QSDS

Some of you may know that I am the Historian for the Quilt/Surface Design Symposium held in Columbus Ohio each June. This coming year, I will switch into teaching mode to bring my “Paper & Fabric Collage”class to QSDS. 

 

Join me on Friday June 4 & Saturday June 5 for two days of experimental play, with the emphasis on using rescued, found & scrounged papers and fabrics. It doesn’t matter whether or not you have previous experience in collage.

 

This picture shows my own versions of some of the warm-up design exercises we do in class. Check out the full description and supply list at www.QSDS.com There you can also see the collage I made as my self portrait.

 

 

I'm in Print!

April 2008

The March/April 2008 issue of "Cloth Paper Scissors" includes my article about using disperse dye to transfer a vintage photo to fabric. Because it was scheduled for March/April, I created a fabric and paper collage with a Poisson d’Avril theme (see below). Missed the issue on the newsstands? Go to www.clothpaperscissors.com to order back issues, and to peruse the other creativity-inspiring goodies available there.
