2010 Monthly Experiment (January): Fabric Paper

Well, give me a little paper, paint, fabric and glue and I’m happy. This is my first experiment making fabric paper – what fun! (This is meant to be cut up and used for postcard and ATC backgrounds with added stitch and/or collage elements.) I put all of the cats in the bedroom and worked at the kitchen table last night for a little while – and what a fine mess I made! There are a few sources of instructions for this (and a couple of variations) on the web. The Quilting Arts web site has Beryl Taylor’s instructions, here. And Arlee Barr has a wonderful tutorial, here. Got to play with this some more...

Conni this is beautiful how can you bear to cut it up?

I have found I am missing an ingredient for my monthly experiment so have to wait before I can finished,

It is lovely but hard to imagine hand stitching through it. Do you just use your machine for that?

This turned out great. I have been meaning to try this so thanks for the resources.
