Tutorial « Gauche Alchemy. Greetings and salutations!
Scraps, here, with a fantastic technique two-fer from Alchemist Jo! Jo: One of my favorite backgrounds is a blended paper background. I learned the basic technique from Mary Green when I took her online classes–”Your Vintage Gluebook” and “Collage Coterie”–and have further developed it to suit my style. I’ve prepared two 4″x6″ postcards to show two variations on the theme. Firstly, I covered both postcards with pieces of book pages, torn and randomly stuck to the postcards with a gluestick. Map pages are good, and handwritten letters, receipts, and postage stamps add interest, too. For the White Gesso Background Over the basic blended paper background I added a coating of white gesso. Allow to dry. Mmmm, this looks so scrummy, I love it! Using your normal everyday inkjet printer print out your chosen image. Now comes the magic bit! Seven thirty three - - - a creative blog.

I saw some backpacks at boutiques and got the idea for the one you see below. It cost me about $25 to make. I'm so excited how it turned out! Here is a picture of some of the supplies you will need- a flat front backpack (a pocket one will be harder), furry fabric, batting, E600 glue, embellishments such as rhinestones (I got a "G" for my daughter's initial), needle and thread, clothes pins, and ribbon or whatever else you want to put on the front. Don't laugh at my backpack choice, it was the only one I could find that was flat-front! This is the batting I used from Jo Ann's fabric store. Cut the fabric and batting in the general shape of your backpack. Tutorial - Make Your Own Flowers - part 1.

Dollar Doily Hair Clip. Post office bag tutorial. August 6th, 2008 Now that I have an etsy shop I find myself at the post office more than ever. Along with all the packages I have to carry I have a stroller to push and a toddler’s hand to hold. The packages are always weird sizes and never seem to fit in a paper bag, so I came up this handy dandy post office bag. It’s just a long piece of fabric with some handles and pockets, but it works like a charm. The pockets are sized to fit a long envelope and there is one on each side.
