Sounds like you should be thinking about Art Therapy as a career move.Welcome to CO+K

Report the below to Craftella and ignore it !

I actually wanted to say thanks for the fantastic cereal box tutorial you posted on the Chunky book swap thread.It's awesome.

Great idea for a swap.Fabric version of chunky page swap

Thank you so much for this project.Have just made shoulder heat-pad for the teen who is recovering from a torn ligament.The ooh of relief was a treat :)

I have one of your species living in my house !
Welcome to CO=K

1 part glue diluted with 2 parts water i.e. one cap glue and 2 caps of water.
I use cheap 1 1/2" brushes .I don't like foam ones as they tend to snap.
One of the things I've found is that tissue can bleed so I work from light to dark and wash in warm soapy water and rinse well

I was playing with your flowers again today.Keep an eye on the Vet V Newbie swap to see what they've gotten up to this time ;).Nice to see your still crafting D

Here you go.I hadn't realized there were so many different types.Going to plan my wishlist !

Here's the product detail I'll go hunt for a tutorial now I have the right name !

Very cool ;)

These can be paper or fabric.Check out Inchies on Flickr.and my thread there for other ideas.I even have seen jewelry and scarf made from them.Search for Inchies thread on this site too.
They are additive ;)

Scraps of steam to fuse work well.Perfect for matchbox swap too !

Warhammer is fantasy gaming.

Paints are available here.

OK,I'll post a how-to by the end of the week.
Is very easy.

Welcome to Cut Out and Keep ;0)

Great sock critters :)

Interesting comments re- craft and art.
The way I've had it defined is that craft service a function ( like a sweater/bag ) and Art is communication though a media.
Craft Artist is a very interesting expression.
Welcome to CO+K

Phew you like pink !!! Your journal will pass muster !

I'm teaching a tactile Art class for those with vision loss in 3 weeks and am making a batch of these for one of the participants as she wants to make a rock pool :)

Yes- Jet you just glue it down with lots of glue.
Pretty similar to your techniques using netting
Hand washing would probably be OK it can easily be wiped down.Really depends on how through the gluing is.If this was really important I would suggest applying glue to the underside when dry and then you would have a sealed fabric.

FYI I did this this week with a colored base cloth and turned it good side down work a treat

Great to see you around happy day :

Yep you can sew it-Great for totes and small bags-just not washable.Sure you won't need interfacing
Is stiff but machining it fine.If I hand-sewn I make holes first saves my thumbs :)

Should have said this was inspired by Stitch Alchemy - Keri Perkins and article by Beryl Taylor in first edition of Cloth Scissors Paper

Your need to download the pdf to make this work

You need to download the pfd Kitty :)

Can anyone find the pdf file am I too tired to see it ?

I've new seen anyone list Warhammer before.We have spacemarines,tryannids and choas Marines
