Lately, I have been really getting into trying new things with fabric. I spent some time looking through Pinterest…way too much time…and I saw so many textile art craft ideas. A while back, I made a fabric journal for my sister. She and I have been having conversations about collage, Gelli art printing, and other fun stuff. I have some Gelli art plates on order, so while I am waiting, I decided to play around with some of the memos that my brother sent me. I started cutting and adding applique. I quilted and outlined with thread.
I made two signatures, but I have not yet put them together. I am thinking I will use other fabric tomorrow to make signatures to add to the back of the two I made today. I also am looking through my beads and buttons to see what I can use to embellish the signatures. I’m thinking that I might add some pearl beads on the gray and white embroidery border on the blue signature.
This is what I have so far. I need to put it away for a bit and think of what I want to do next.
Oh Wow! This is great! You’re making me want to stitch up something! You’ll love the gelli plate, it’s addicting.
My sister also thinks it’s addicting. She works with paper. Do you have any tips for using Gelli for fabric?
No, but there are some great videos on YouTube! The smaller plates would be easy to use on fabric, you can stamp with them!
Thanks. I can’t wait to get started.
oh no Pinterest – now you will never get sleep! There is a crazy amount of inspiration on that site! 🙂
I like your piece you are working on!
Thanks. I had a difficult time going to sleep because I kept thinking about what I want to add to the journal😳I’ll start working on it after my walk.
Great start. I love pinterest also.
