Surface Explorations!
I am so excited to be apart of Quilting Arts‘ awesome new eMag called Surface Explorations. I’m still pinching myself to make sure this is really happening. This thing is packed with some really great techniques (from some really talented artists) that I can’t wait to try out myself.
I am introducing a cool technique that I call Improvisational Imprinting. Want to know how to screen print a lot of amazing color down onto your fabric with items you may already have at home and watercolor crayons? It is a messy process but well worth the effort.

One tip that I don’t mention in the article is that once everything is done and dry you can go back afterwards and add even more color with watercolor pastels, paint, pens or whatever strikes you. For example in the first piece above, I blended three separate images together and gave the piece a little more visual pop with the mediums I just mentioned. Even after all that you can still go back and stitch, bead, etc.
Alright, I’ll admit that I’ve never bought an eMag before, but this one is pretty cool. The navigation of it is fun, there is always something to click on for more information about tools, tips or the artists. Did I mention that there are videos included. Yes, even one of me (special thanks to my awesome husband, Victor for being my audio/video specialist). So what are you waiting for? Go check it out!
