We used small rubber bands to create a Vertical Fold</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
To do this, you want to dampen your silk, then scrunch it in small folds to the end then attach rubber bands at the ends and or middle. (the white lines is where the bands prevented color from getting into the silk)</div>

Cary Quilting Company now has an AWESOME Meeting Center/classroom. It is a wonderful place to teach in. (They are also looking to rent it out, reasonable rates as well)<br />
<br /><br />
On Saturday June 9, I led a Dying 101 class to introduce beginning dying to those who want to learn. I put it together as a class I wish I could have found when I was wanting to learn years ago.<br />
<br /><br />
I had six people sign up and we covered the basics of mixing a chem water to use for Procian Fiber Reactive Dyes and everyone had a hand at mixing at least one bottle of dye.<br />
<br /><br />
Then came the fun part...dying!<br />
We used "White on White" fabric since it looks so cool after it's dyed in class. Below you can see some examples. We first dyed using a cookie sheet do keep out any variations.(folds)<br />

We also used plastic quart bags and plastic mushroom containers to dye in. I did have to warn them that once they started to dye....they will never walk through a hardware or grocery store the same way again!<br />
We ended up dying seven yards of fabric and I think everyone had a good time!!<br />

<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">I
belong to the Carolina Mixed Media Artist Guild. Every year we have a play day
at a member’s studio and have round robin demonstrations of a technique and
then bring enough supplies to let the other members try it out.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span></span><div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">This year scarves were
requested. I was trying to find a technique that would be fast, different and
unique. I was scanning through Facebook and saw a video of an elementary class
applying color via bubbles….. They mixed paint to the bubble solution, cut
plastic bottles in half, attached netting to the base and dabbed the applicator
into the solution then “blew” bubbles through the bottle top and the bubbles
landed on the paper…</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Of course I found
inspiration.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">I tried to do it the same in
the video but it didn’t come out at all the same….so I took a different
approach…thinking of the old bubble piles I had as a kid, I created the below
applicator and it worked GREAT!!!</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">But the color went on very
random (which I love) and the colors blended very well. I used Marabu Silk
paint and it worked beautifully. It has water like consistency so it blended
well with the bubbles.</span></span></div>

I am soo sorry it's been so long since I've posted...life FLIES!!!!!!!!!! Holy Cow!<br />
<br /><br />
I have a post from a couple of years ago regarding sun painting with Pebeo Set a Color Paints on cotton panels. Since I'm teaching a Sun Painting on silk class in July at the Yadkin Arts Center, I figured I'd better hone the skills. I found some pre-dyed silk chiffon scarves that I was going to use for Nuno Felting. I ironed it out then ironed it onto freezer paper to act as a stabilizer.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also had some thin insulation I used for batik a few years ago so I could pin the scarf and the leaves down. I decided to try Sweet Gum leaves to start with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used Brown Set a Color fabric paint that had been mixed 1 part paint to 2 parts Water.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I started to apply the paint to the scarf. I used brown only because it was the strongest color I had that could cover the oranges and reds in my scarf.</div>

I used gloves and I really have to recommend them, this paint does not come off your hands very easily.</div>

A<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After I applied the brown paint to the surface of the scarf, I then added the leaves and put small pins in them to help keep them stable.</div>

I used longer pins as well but tried to keep them angled more on the leaf to prevent a shadow from the sunlight. </div>

It's a fun technique and for the first time on silk chiffon I'm impressed with the results. I have a couple of other scarves I'm going to play with. I defiantly LOVE the effect of the pre-dyed scarfs and then using the paints to contrast the original color. I do recommend that you base the scarf with a light color and not a strong one line red and orange!</div>

We decided to start a project and then "switch" and then finish each others project. We had both taken almost identical pictures of the most amazing Southern Magnolia at NCQS 2014 and decided to use those as our subject matter. I blew up my photo to 11x17".<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Then I made a black and white copy of the photo <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
and then I traced the picture out with tracing paper so I can put the white cotton fabric over it and trace in onto the fabric.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After I did that, I painted the flower and leaves in.<br />

Anne had opted to do an applique of the flower and sent me the pieces beautifully basted on a red back ground.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I like the red and it was a great contrast for the white petals however, I could see red coming through the white so I decided to play around with some dyes and dyed new fabric to use.</div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started to shadow in some of the areas with my Derwent Inktense pencils. If you get a chance to but these, get them! They blend like water color pencils however once they are heat set, they are permanent.</div>

Once I got that petals taken I had to quilt the piece before I tackled the flower center. I didn't want to take a chance on crushing the center in ANY of the finishing process.</div>

The center was the biggest challenge. As you can see from the pictures above it's quite a large part of the flower and it's anything but flat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I am completely amazed at how the flies. (Especially if you don't give a deadline) I have learned a new process and am using a new product that I REALLY like to create a new line. Prayer Scarves.<br />
I copy down a Psalm down or other prayer, over paint it with Jaquaard Permanent Resist, and then dye it with, (what else) Procian Fiber Reactive dyes.I first got this idea when I got an order from a Hospice i Colorado…I finally got a chance to put it into action two weeks ago.<br />
I don't have the pictures, however here are the steps:<br />
1) soak scarves in your soda ash solution<br />
2) air dry<br />
3) Iron<br />
4) Iron on to freezer paper<br />
Here is where the fun starts;<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt1SBkl2R9vnGm4DFxrdnbAILHM75fg6jaZ3w1x2j4gZjRAWMGmLMNc7pvkDth9pzXN6PYTtkbHHgvVaU6RJ8Zabf_PY8oVoSmRYBKYrYlFz27rEIDfQv1-r9bpgMhH-1nQ9e2MmffaWGt/s1600/Hail+Mary+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt1SBkl2R9vnGm4DFxrdnbAILHM75fg6jaZ3w1x2j4gZjRAWMGmLMNc7pvkDth9pzXN6PYTtkbHHgvVaU6RJ8Zabf_PY8oVoSmRYBKYrYlFz27rEIDfQv1-r9bpgMhH-1nQ9e2MmffaWGt/s1600/Hail+Mary+1.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
using a pencil or iron off pen, mark up lines and write in the text<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Get it all paint out. (FYI, if you photograph, use the white side of the bag you are recycling, ask me how I know)<br />

Starting adding your color. Personally, I like to start with a yellow or Gold.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

then you add the blue and the red and any other colors you want. (I prefer primary colors to blend to create new colors)<br />

This is a Psalm I did and sent to my sister in-law. This was a first time using the resist..use the brush, I used a bottle with this and the resist is to heavy. (Sorry Kelly)<br />
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone. May we find Peace on this Earth, we so need it!!<br />
Give thanks for all!<br />

My Friend Leslie Fesperman, Artist owner of Simply Woven got together to watch a webnair to learn how to photograph our scarves. We learned a few things, 1) to turn off all flash and 2, to re-adjust your monitors colors.<br />
So we made some adjustments to our cameras and we played with backgrounds.<br />

Leslie also has alpaca's (3) of them.</div>

Leslie and I did a photo exercise as suggested by the webnair. Pick a color and photograph it for a specific time period and then list all the photo's together so you can see how colors contrast against other colors. I chose red. We decided to take photographs during lunch at the locally famous Merritt's in Chapel Hill.<br />
Leslie had the famous BLT (which looked like there was a 1/2 pound of bacon on it..YUM!) I got the best burger I've had in forever. (Major YUM!)<br />
The red that jumped out at me was the Red Sox fan…but once I took his photo, (after I asked) others "red" jumped out at me. below is my study of the color red.<br />

By the time you think your fingers are going to fall of, your flower should look like this. See the green has encompassed the flower base and look rather natural.</div>

At this point, to make sure the felting process is done, I put a Tablespoon of White Vinegar into a bowl and pour almost boiling water into it and toss in my flower. The vinegar will neutralize the soap and the steaming hot water will "shrink" the fibers into each eachother.</div>

After 5 minutes, you can remove your flower and squeeze out any water. A rinse with cold water will get rid of any vinegar smell.</div>

Fold your flower into a "bud" state (not tight) and let it dry.</div>

Wholesalecrafts.com and I’ve stated to sell my scarves wholesale. I officially
registered my site Friday November 1 and I got my first order on Wednesday
November 6 from a lovely gift shop located in Cincinnati Ohio. The name of the
shop is “Frame House Gallery” and Kathy, the owner was kind enough to send me
photos of my scarves hanging in her shop on Saturday. Kathy was also kind
enough to alert me that the first one sold there yesterday, November13. (Happy

I finally got some creative flow going in spite of Mars and
I made some really neat Sun Catchers and Greeting cards using Strathmore Artist
Papers On Saturday November 9, I lead a demo on how to make these at the make
and take room at the Art of the Carolina’s event that Jerry’s Art o rama puts
on every year at the Raleigh Hilton North. My (peeps) guild, the Carolina Mixed

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"> * </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal;"> </span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Cut out
pieces of contact paper to JUST cover your flowers, or stamps, or anything else
you are going to insert into your card. (if you cut out one large piece of
contact paper it will create a “glare”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-align: center; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"> 1 **</span></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal;"> </span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Be careful
when you apply color (I need to follow this myself!) less is best and you can
always build up color value and intensity however it you have it heavy handed
already, it’s extremely difficult to tone it down. Pressed flowers are delicate
looking and can get easily lost if the color is dominating the eye. If you use
stamps or something else you can probably get heavier handed with color.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The ATC/Greeting card would be a great project to do with
kids, in fact I’m going to do this with my Grandchildren the next time they are
over and Papa Wonderful can’t take them bikeriding.</div>

(I must back up a tad)<br />
In May I took a class with Susan Brubaker-Knapp called, Whole Cloth Painting. The idea was to take a photograph, enlarge it, trace it on cotton fabric and then, using paint, thread and batting, re-create the photograph. LOVED IT and LOVE the technique!!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOyoxQ4MjZgfSLnXrPJHO4OVIzc9HSEn5wStbiPh4HMeaUTfaJIKrhnK-ZW0nQmOnsDGBe50zSwdZDjrRrQAb05_UgG0BBxt48aKQ2He7Z3-opOcBNFd_VoSIMCaoOY86-Ymhdn5HIgLCN/s1600/IMG_2436.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="335" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOyoxQ4MjZgfSLnXrPJHO4OVIzc9HSEn5wStbiPh4HMeaUTfaJIKrhnK-ZW0nQmOnsDGBe50zSwdZDjrRrQAb05_UgG0BBxt48aKQ2He7Z3-opOcBNFd_VoSIMCaoOY86-Ymhdn5HIgLCN/s400/IMG_2436.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
The above is how it looked when I finished with the painting. (The small photograph on the right is Susan's photo)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Then I added a fringe and beads around the flower center<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I added french knots in the center and some hot fix crystals in the center as well as areas on the petals. (saw an awesome set of quilts at AQS in Grand Rapids, Michigan that used the crystals to embellish with) This will be in the North Carolina State Fair this month.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also made another one for Freeze Frame, PAQA-South's Fall Art Display.</div>

Here is how it looked while it was in process.<br />
<br />
The Freeze Frame Show is going on until October 20.<br />
There are over 50 wonderful quilts by phenomenal artists from all over the Southeast. This show is a wonderful treat for the eyes.<br />
The Page-Walker Art & History Center is located next to City Hall, 119 Ambassador Loop in Cary, NC.<br />

The CMMAG (Carolina Mixed Media Artists Guild) held our quarterly play day at the studio of one of our members. on Sunday August 11.<br />
We each brought a snack to share and if an adult beverage was wanted, that was OK as well. Four of us did demo's Linda did "Book Folding", Penny did "Homemade Washi Tape", Heidi showed us how to color clay beads with dye and shaving cream, and I demo'd how to make a felted geode.<br />

<br />
Linda had worked at Barnes and Noble for a time and she had all these lovely books that had the covers removed. She showed us the different designs one can make when you just fold the pages in different ways.<br />
<br />
This is a pretty neat way to do something while watching television or if you have itchy hands and need to do something. Follow the below link to see some other examples of folded books.<br />

Penny showed us how to make Washi Tape using different varieties of tape. Penny used blue painters tape, cloth (first aid) tape, and masking tape. The then used stamps, different inks and pens to<br />

create some very lovely tape that could be used in a variety of projects.<br />
<br />
Parchment paper is the key in working on the tape since the tape won't stick to it after you work on it.<br />
<br />
The results were stunning!<br />

Heidi then demo'd the beads colored with shaving cream and dyes. This was fun! Heidi showed us how to make the beads using a clay, not quite a polymer but similar and easy to use. After she rolled out the beads, she put shaving cream in a small cup......<br />

You can add as may colors as you want and then you want them to dry with the shaving cream on them. Her husband made her a wonderful drying rack for her beads...<br />

you can see in the background some finished beads...I'm just sorry I don't have better pictures of the final results.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Then last but not least I showed the guild how to make felted geodes.<br />
Unfortunately I don't any photo's of the process however I do have photo's of the finished results.<br />
I will say that my plumbers helper caused a ruckus....one word of warning, when you purchase a toilet plunger steer away from clear acrylic handles that have a bumps put into them for better holding power...it looks like something else....anyway, below are pictures of the results.<br />

I really didn't know what to expect regarding where we were going to set up. It was a very pleasant surprise to find out we were setting up on the grounds around all the lovely plants and shrubs. Even nicer was my spot was located along the railroad tracks so I was partially covered by a long narrow roof and netting. With my tent covering what the roof and netting didn't cover, I was pretty much shaded from the sun and comfortable. (at least as comfortable as one can be outside in 90+degree heat). I had some great neighbors, Rick and Lisa and lots of friendly, helpful employees from Logan's to make sure we were doing well. <br />

Of course there is wax bees wax is more commonly used,
however I used soy wax instead of
bees wax because it’s easier to get out of the fabric and it’s easily washed
out with hot water, (after the bulk of the wax has been ironed out) Soy wax is
made from hydrogenated soybean oil and has a low melting point..</div>

When it's wrapped up, secure it with the knee high stockings. (Tie a simple knot and the pull in both direction and it will hold) I make the first ties on either side of the scarf edges and then two more inside the first two. Then wrap the towel around it so you now have traction.</span></div>

Smooth out any spots that get snagged by the tulle and re-wrap the bubble wrapped scarf from the opposite side you originally wrapped it in.

Do this 4-10 times, depending on how much texture you want. When the running clear without suds, fill a container big enough to hold your scarf and add 1 Tablespoon of White Distilled Vinegar and cold water and soak your scarf for about 20 minutes to neutralize the soap.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I'm afraid I've blinked.<br />
I've been busy busy getting scarves dyed (more on those later) and getting wall hangings ready for the North Carolina Quilt Symposium in Fayetville, North Carolina May 23 - 26. I made it easy on myself and I only had to create one from scratch, the other two were projects I had done previously.<br />

"Dragonfly" is the result of a Thread Sketching class I took with Susan Brubaker Knapp <a href="http://www.bluemoonriver.com/">http://www.bluemoonriver.com/</a> at the 2011 NC Quilt Symposium. Susan taught a great class and instead of letting my dragonfly become a UFO (Un-Finished Object) I Appliqued some leaves and branches with left over batiks and I dug up a fairy scrap and per her on as well. I like Susan's class so much I'm signed up to take her "Painting on Broadcloth" class at this year's NC Symposium.</div>

"Asharah" is a wall hanging I made last fall. She was my depiction of water. I had used different values of blue to try and emulate the flow of water and since Asharah was a Goddess, I gave her some funky hair and jewels. I quilted in different shapes of birds, plants and people. I like how it turned out.</div>

"Finally Finished" is a challenge quilt I finally finished. My sister Anne had given Dawn and myself a panel to do something with. I am sad to say that I didn't get mine done in time to show at Symposium last year. However I did finally get it done this year. I didn't know what to do, especially after seeing Anne's and Dawn's. (see just below)<br />

All three of us managed to come up with something different. When I was trying to figure out what to do<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I started to doodle...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
.........and I came up with a sketch.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-Ay9lR5YPsluPdJn5gR9Kj2YCBkZbUmzVzhhL8tapnpwuLhnqKayKh77VdED0zAZ9JhLpL3Wr2xTTMOQay1kyMh9drI1Ve5x7bReC8WenLjZVMyX9aA1GUstCl1xVsyZItQZ8Jtr_QZj0/s1600/Sketch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" lua="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-Ay9lR5YPsluPdJn5gR9Kj2YCBkZbUmzVzhhL8tapnpwuLhnqKayKh77VdED0zAZ9JhLpL3Wr2xTTMOQay1kyMh9drI1Ve5x7bReC8WenLjZVMyX9aA1GUstCl1xVsyZItQZ8Jtr_QZj0/s200/Sketch.jpg" width="168" /></a></div>
I really liked the sketch and and it was definitely different than Anne and Dawn.<br />
I decided to use a technique I learned with Katie Pasquini Masopust <a href="http://www.katiepm.com/">http://www.katiepm.com/</a> when she taught a workshop at Capital Quilt Guild.<br />
Ghost Layers and Color Washes.<br />
I decided to just look at the value side of things and leave out the Ghost Layers. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You can't see if from here however I decided to use use the white background in the panel be my starting point and chose a light and medium dark value to the cream. Then when I finished making my pattern I marked up the values and colors on the pattern.(you can't see it in this picture) and glued it to white poster board.<br />
<br />

Once the glue is dry you can cut your pieces out and you now have a template to cut your pieces out and you can fold them over and get a really nice edge. (well, KMP can, I still need major practice!)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsN8gWE-jW3nJpv-1UfzwKj9prc94UHEL9V47shBDybSGxJGLb1LNv8INGUlla2asfFNyueaXvlVy3idJDDd57ucUjNV_5ugJH8ZhERpxYn-7GEnxuV0nJVB2ZXODI-7D8TxRyVw9m1VfT/s1600/FF+2+pattern.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" lua="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsN8gWE-jW3nJpv-1UfzwKj9prc94UHEL9V47shBDybSGxJGLb1LNv8INGUlla2asfFNyueaXvlVy3idJDDd57ucUjNV_5ugJH8ZhERpxYn-7GEnxuV0nJVB2ZXODI-7D8TxRyVw9m1VfT/s200/FF+2+pattern.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
After you cut your pattern piece out. You want to lay it<em> print side down</em> on the <em>back side</em> of the fabric.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqnINGGfnbZ3bSLIBPYVERRe5gyeBixz2tEiU_U_NKZIDUW3IR7UdxmFWOz8piv537_mtgzIx76CIfE8PcgCILOOO2iiJhH6vXSzJ9Fx05QsKNhm0V-QZiKPNM1peK87-uoFlwkXaMkob9/s1600/FF+3+pattern.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" lua="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqnINGGfnbZ3bSLIBPYVERRe5gyeBixz2tEiU_U_NKZIDUW3IR7UdxmFWOz8piv537_mtgzIx76CIfE8PcgCILOOO2iiJhH6vXSzJ9Fx05QsKNhm0V-QZiKPNM1peK87-uoFlwkXaMkob9/s200/FF+3+pattern.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
Then, I (using a ruler as a guide) traced out the pattern, measuring out roughly .25 of an inch around your template using a pen or pencil. I used a wonderful pen that you can mark fabric up with and the ink disappears when it's subjected to heat.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFTM9jeLyFruCN8kFH8qNsrP57f4df_9w9-LRKDYkwLO-uuinp5iRMznLiUZ5qkkWoxGUVhrouI4XMo0i0RMl_-EzG9H8F8NALYfeq865TYrMzYXZaxTS1FgppVsVyTZNxyfDwEb87_A80/s1600/FF+4+pattern.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" lua="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFTM9jeLyFruCN8kFH8qNsrP57f4df_9w9-LRKDYkwLO-uuinp5iRMznLiUZ5qkkWoxGUVhrouI4XMo0i0RMl_-EzG9H8F8NALYfeq865TYrMzYXZaxTS1FgppVsVyTZNxyfDwEb87_A80/s200/FF+4+pattern.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
After I got the pattern drawn, and cut out. I then ironed the seams back so form the shape of the template. I was really glad I had one of these small handy dandy irons to press...my fingers would have been literally fried with a large iron.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQarRuz5q4WWiKzT9bt0W66FIs_2YgFuLERinN8B6a92Vx-QdzRagvgSasEKwX2stA7SPoBxB79ufUOF_b8vozvJ763zQwj2XrBCH5V8zolysTme80IwscMCIVF6irywZicW98QlGUieqD/s1600/FF+5+pattern.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" lua="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQarRuz5q4WWiKzT9bt0W66FIs_2YgFuLERinN8B6a92Vx-QdzRagvgSasEKwX2stA7SPoBxB79ufUOF_b8vozvJ763zQwj2XrBCH5V8zolysTme80IwscMCIVF6irywZicW98QlGUieqD/s200/FF+5+pattern.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
When you get done ironing you piece as you can see the seams hold their own and then you match it to the pattern you've copied on to some Sulky Heat Away Stabilizer.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXaobV0I6dy6yLpBUFjOCKHYCHG42pXapC47BUQ5bHoWg34SytggdNRMQtSAVv-73eG0X8WL2P1lf4LxDc0tbYaJmqwDImfGfD1EXnGkppQbNDq_-wQ-H9VXedn8rP7_U5h42LxDlJ4EGr/s1600/FF+6+pattern.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" lua="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXaobV0I6dy6yLpBUFjOCKHYCHG42pXapC47BUQ5bHoWg34SytggdNRMQtSAVv-73eG0X8WL2P1lf4LxDc0tbYaJmqwDImfGfD1EXnGkppQbNDq_-wQ-H9VXedn8rP7_U5h42LxDlJ4EGr/s200/FF+6+pattern.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
Then you do the same thing with the rest of your pieces. Cut the pattern piece out, trace it, cut it, shape it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhxh1TnRgaRCcns5bw4GW3xfbCufwYzbAJZpif8KSY26LIlkIAileWFfrsmpTfq1Xn4PrAd_5RWRH1vzwVO0I4pifLb9ooYmiPzkJTaVYQIry7TyMlJA5XCCM7grw5UEfAcKSJV-N2pikV/s1600/FF+7+pattern.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" lua="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhxh1TnRgaRCcns5bw4GW3xfbCufwYzbAJZpif8KSY26LIlkIAileWFfrsmpTfq1Xn4PrAd_5RWRH1vzwVO0I4pifLb9ooYmiPzkJTaVYQIry7TyMlJA5XCCM7grw5UEfAcKSJV-N2pikV/s200/FF+7+pattern.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
and then match it. <br />
<br />
<br />

When you get all the pieces matched, then iron it down, small dabs of Elmers Glue works if some spots aren't cooperating. then you take clear thread and sew down every seam.<br />

Lucky for me Sunday was a lovely 70 degree day and I could get some scarves dyed.<br />
I ADORE the ice dye effect so I decided to use the technique. I also thought I'd share with you how I do <strong>Ice Dying</strong> in in case you want to try it yourself. I've Ice Dyed with silk/rayon blends, 100 % silk and 100% cotton fabrics. I'm going to try wool roving at a later time. I also bet 100% cotton batting would work as well.<br />
<strong>What you'll need:</strong><br />
<ul>
<li>Containers to hold ice and dye, I got mine at the Dollar Tree</li>
<li>Natural fiber fabric (cotton, silk, rayon) soaked in a soda ash solution for 45 minutes</li>
<li>Bagged ice to cover your fabric. (I went through 2-10lb bags and a tray of ice out of my freezer for 18 scarves)</li>
<li>Procian Fiber Reactive dyes, variety of colors</li>
<li>Synthropyl (to wash scarves after rinse)</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
1) After the items have soaked in a soda ash solution for 45 minutes, Layer some ice cubes at the bottom of your chosen containers. (use containers that you don't care if they stain, or glass)<br />

<br />
Just enough ice to cover the bottom.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2) Put the items in that you are dying into the ice. You can put multiples in together. I prefer not to have them touch too much. (but that's just me) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3) Once you get the items arranged, cover them with more ice until you get as much coverage as you can.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvwUTooyr3GOACePALtyD9Bw4rkEtFdT135qE1dyY9ppt43Og8XjMUOsgucP9DVCUy4Dc_11o79UhJJCDI9TjIV3hWYS2uELq2-Ax09h318Xlp8I0a7d-9rvogvln_kSW2sZ4r8zYGslhn/s1600/03+10+13+Signs+of+Spring+dye+004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" psa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvwUTooyr3GOACePALtyD9Bw4rkEtFdT135qE1dyY9ppt43Og8XjMUOsgucP9DVCUy4Dc_11o79UhJJCDI9TjIV3hWYS2uELq2-Ax09h318Xlp8I0a7d-9rvogvln_kSW2sZ4r8zYGslhn/s200/03+10+13+Signs+of+Spring+dye+004.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4) Then you get out your handy Procian Fiber Reactive Dyes and some plastic spoons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5) Let your inner color freak take over and start to sprinkle dye powder over the ice in random areas. Typically I start with yellows and then blues and leave red to the very end. (Red is VERY dominate so ease up just a little on the color)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6) I also had some leaf green that looked pretty so I added a touch of that to a couple of containers. I then went on to blues, a light value and a dark value.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
7) Then I started to add the red. As you can see I'm very sparing with it.</div>

I finally got my needles and beads into "Dancing back to the Light" and I was pretty happy with the results, I wanted a curvy look to go with the dye pattern so I tried to do a curve border....well I tried. Then I free motion quilted curves and texture into the piece and finished it off with beads and sequins.<br />

I was happy with the results <br />
and think it turned out pretty nice. I decided to mount it on canvas instead of the traditional "sleeve" on the back. Using glitter glue I added more swirls to keep the motion consistent. I like how it turned out and it gives be an opportunity to add another dimension to the work. It also makes it a "mixed media" type of piece and can be entered as such. <br />
I don't think it would be accepted in a traditional quilt competition but I can use this for any art shows may enter.<br />
<br />
I did the same type of mounting with "Daydreaming...Outside the Box". Using Gel Medium I took the yellow organza that I had added to the wall hanging and put in on the canvas. It helped to pull the yellows out since green was so heavy in the piece. I was very happy with the results.<br />

I was so happy that I entered both pieces in the<strong> Johnston County Art and Food Festival, Friday March 1 in Smithfield</strong>. I am very proud to say that "Daydreaming....Outside the Box" placed second in the Mixed Media category.<br />
Woo Hoo!!! I haven't entered a competition like this since the early 80's.<br />
Below is how it looked with a lovely red ribbon adorning it. :-) It helps bring out the red in the background colors.<br />

Wow! Has it ever been stated before that TIME FLIES!!!!! I can't believe we are now into the second month of the new year. I can't believe it's been so long since my last post but I have been swamped!<br />
<br />
I'd like to share with your the two customer orders I completed.<br />

This wall hanging was for a client in Durham. She supplied some of the pictures and I took the others the weekend I was at the Holiday Market at the Durham Arts Center.<br />
<br />
<br />
I was quite happy at how they both turned out and my clients were VERY happy with the results.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I finally, (after neglecting to do so for at least three years) shut my studio down and cleaned and organized it. It's amazing how much clutter can build up especially with Mixed Media supplies. I was too ashamed to take before pictures, I think Mr. Wonderful would have died of embarrassment if I had. I refused to do anything fun or crafty until I got it done so it took me one full weekend and two weeks but I got 98% of it done.<br />

Gone are the piles that were starting to expand over the floor.<br />
<br />
All my supplies now have a place and I also bought a labe er so mark the bins and drawers. The Picture on the left is the Mixed Media (paints, gels, etc) in the bakers rack. and next to that on the dresser is my drum carder. <br />

I moved all my square wire shelves together and bought small bins to put all my fabric in. So instead of seeing fabric "Piled" in the shelves it's now sorted by color and value which helps when trying to find the right color. All big pieces are in a separate bin. I also made a new ironing table that is large enough to iron big items. I also added drawers where ever I could to leave my options open. I just have to discipline myself that if I buy something it has to be put away immediately (yeahhhhhh but it can be a goal right?) What I like the best is all fabric is with fabric, MM with MM and wool with wool. I also have cork squares started around the room so I can use it as a design board or pin up bits and pieces as I see fit.</div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
I'm finally playing with the results and my new resolution is to get better about taking pictures AS I work on a project instead of when it's almost over.</div>

The weather couldn't have been nicer, the neighborhood was lovely and my porch mate, Leigh Griffin, was awesome!<br />
Mr. Wonderful came with me and helped me set up which made it very quick work. Leigh had been in the location last year so she knew what we were about. Our products complimented eachother. Leigh designs beautiful jewlerery from sea glass, semi-precious stones and sterling silver. If you want to see any of Leigh's work, click on this link <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/AraLeighStudios">http://www.etsy.com/shop/AraLeighStudios</a><br />
Below are some pictures of the booth.<br />

I had my first show in Durham November 16 and 17th at the Durham Arts Counsel. What a great time! I met some great artists while I was there. Some from Durham and some from Raleigh. Since it was a two day show I decided to leave early from work and get set up so I didn't have to rush. (I'm also not that familiar with Durham) So as I packed the Edge and left the house I had this nagging feeling that I was forgetting something...something...as I ticked off my mental list of what was packed...I was fine...I was just being paranoid...until I got to the Arts Counsel building and unloaded my stuff and started putting things together when I realized that I forgot my scarf display....yep...I forgot the big piece of my display...and it's a one hour drive to my house and an hour drive back....I fought then rising panic and the internal name calling calmed down and decided that I had just been given a new opportunity to find a way to display the scarves I've not yet tried. Thank God I had gotten the grid walls last month!! I also had some extra shower curtain rings so this is what I came up with:<br />

All in all it was a great sale and if I had Durham Cityscapes, I'd have sold them over and over. Saturday morning I walked around downtown Durham and took lots of pictures....next time I'll have Durham Cityscapes. In fact I'm working on a custom order as I type. I can't wait to see how it turns out.</div>

They are hard to see in photographs, however I've colleagued different pictures of buildings and sights in Raleigh, North Carolina with fabric bits and pieces and created a "city scape".<br />
I have pictures of Charleston, SC and of Washington DC that I'm going to use on future wall hangings.<br />
<br />
If you can come to Durham this Friday or Saturday. It looks like they have an awesome line up of artists!<br />

It was such a blessing since the original weekend it was scheduled had dregs of Superstrom Sandy coming through. It was cool when we set up. Mr. Wonderful and my self had the vehicle all packed and ready to go Saturday morning so we didn't have such a runaround rush getting out the door. The set up was organized and we didn't have any problems. Mr. Wonderful had to go to work so I was on my own. Luckily artists and crafters are very friendly and helpful people!<br />

I had a very colorful display and I received numerous compliments on the colors. I was able to get grid walls so I could display some Batik panels I made. I was also nice to be able to set some personal space behind the grids to keep my stuff and to eat lunch.<br />

I met another couple, Peter and Kathy Firth from Wakeforest. They are the owners. creators of P&K Originals. Kathy makes quilts, book covers and small bags. Peter makes machine turned wooden bowls and other decorative objects. They were both very helpful when I needed to leave for a few minutes. Peter made the shelves shown in the picture. He did a great job!<br />

This is how the booth looked like on the right side. I really need to pay attention to the sheets...they look rather sloppy...<br />

This is a photo of how the left side looked. I think I need to do one of two things with Monique the mannequin; either paint her or put more clothes on her. Although I think my scarf got more attention with her naked....I caught a few guys eyeballing the legs under the scarf.<br />

I'll be at the Durham Holiday Market November 16 and 17.<br />
Maybe I'll see you there!<br />

I found out I was selected to be in the magazine and then had to sit back and nibble my nails until the end of October when my November/December 2012 issue arrived to see :<br />
1) if I won the Simplicity Felting Machine <br />
2) if I got into the photo spread.<br />
I am happy to report that even though I didn't win the Simplicity Felting machine (Harriet Skinner in Raleigh NC won it! Congratulations and color snaps to Harriet!! her work is awesome!)<br />
I did get a full page devoted to my Nuno Scarf. <br />

I'm also getting ready for Hollyfest on Saturday at Womble Park across from 301 Stinson Avenue in Holly Springs. It starts at 10:00 AM and goes until 4:00 PM. It looks like quite a nice Festival. Come see me if you can make it.<br />

I took this really awesome class with Lyric Montgomery Kinard called "Apli-Punto" in May 2012.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's a reverse applique technique and it's fun to do. It really adds pizazz to your project.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So no the challenge is to see how many of these I can get made between today and Friday night and then for the Holiday Market in November and Boylen Heights in December....the race is on!! </div>
