Jacob’s Ladder Tutorial | Fantasticmio.com Here’s how to do a Jacob’s Ladder: The basic fabric needed is a combination of double crochet stitches and chain stitches. In this example, I’ve decided to do one ladder with 5dc on each side. To recreate it, ch22, dc in the fourth chain from the hook, and make 3 more dc stitches: Ch10: Skip 10 chains in the base chain, and make a dc in the 11th chain: Make 4 more dc to take you to the end of the row: Make a turning chain and dc in the next four stitches: Chain 10, then dc in the next dc (skipping the ch10 of the previous row) : dc to the end of this row. Continue adding rows, working a dc into each dc, and working a ch10 over where a ch10 is. On the second-to-last row, work the dc’s as normal: But this time, only chain 6: Then dc to the end of the row as normal On the last row, work dc stitches until you reach the chain space and then stop – draw the loop out larger so the stitches don’t unravel: Now grab a bigger hook and go down to the base chain. Insert the big hook in this loop: Repeat!

Sutton Gallery » Artist Profile » Gordon Bennett Born Monto, Queensland 1955; lives and works in Brisbane Gordon Bennett is internationally acclaimed as one of Australia's most significant and critically engaged contemporary artists. He is recognised for his powerful perspectives on the post colonial experience, particularly in the Australian context, with much of his work mapping alternative histories and questioning racial categorisations and stereotypes. As a way to expand his oeuvre, Bennett regularly adopts the persona John Citizen. This invented character exists as a type of disguise that plays with the rhetoric of identity. Moreover, by shifting his artistic style under the John Citizen pseudonym, Bennett avoids typecasting his practice. Selected awards include Moët et Chandon Australia Art Fellowship, 1991; MacGeorge Fellowship, The University of Melbourne, 1993; Creative Arts Fellow, Australian National University, Canberra, 1996; and John McCaughey Memorial Art Prize, National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, 1997.

Gordon Bennett Education Resource Personal background – Family, memory, experience During his childhood in the 1950s and 60s, Bennett lived with his family in Victoria and Queensland. He has described his upbringing as overwhelmingly Euro-Australian, with never a word spoken about my Aboriginal heritage. Gordon Bennett 1 Bennett’s Aboriginal heritage came through his mother. I can’t remember exactly when it dawned on me that I had an Aboriginal heritage, I generally say it was around age eleven, but this was my age when my family returned to Queensland where Aboriginal people were far more visible. Bennett married in 1977. He has identified with the experience of the fair complexioned, African-American conceptual artist Adrian Piper, who wrote: Blacks like me are unwilling observers of the forms racism takes when racists believe there are no blacks present. Bennett’s art explores and reflects his personal experiences. Framing experience – The coming of the light History lessons – Colonial and postcolonial perspectives E.
Thread Count in Fabric | How To Quilt I’ll be honest, before I began making quilts, I didn’t think much about the thread count of fabric – including the thread count of sheets. In some sort of random way, I could tell that some fabric seemed like it was more tightly woven than other fabric. Yet it didn’t occur to me that it might make a big difference in my quilts. I just figured that the quilting stitches would somehow hold everything together. It only took some of the fabric in one quilt to get shredded for me to realized that it really did make a difference – especially in quilts that are destined to become heirlooms – i.e., those you want to have for future generations to enjoy in a condition that is as beautiful as the day you finished them. So – let’s talk about thread count for a moment, without making it too complicated. Beware, though, the thread count can be too high! Simply put, thread count is the number of threads per square inch in the fabric. Threads are counted for both the length and width of the fabric.
Cassie Stephens: DIY: Felted Floral Sweater So, as usual, this DIY story begins with me drooling over some uber expensive piece at Anthropologie. Case in point: that lovely embroidered number on the left. Them crazies wanted something like $198 for that thang! Do you know how much whipped cream that would buy?! I know what you're thinking: dang, girl, another felted sweater? But enough about that. ...and commence stabbing. Once finished with one flower pedal, follow the same steps to create the second one. For the flower stems, I initially used green roving. And this is a little what the end result of that looks like. Now I'm not gonna lie, this sweater took me ages.
FEATURED IN BUZZ FED DIY Hace un tiempo contactó conmigo Pippa de BUZ FED DIY proponiéndome un reto, tenía que hacer un DIY que consistía en cortar una camiseta y me mandó varias ideas, yo acepté sin dudarlo e hice una réplica de una de las fotos que me mandó,en un segundo le robé una camiseta a mi chico y me puse manos a la obra, al cabo de un rato recibí un segundo email donde Pippa me decía que no tenía que ser idéntico a lo que ella me había mandado, pero cuando lo leí ya tenía la mitad de la camiseta cortada, así que hice un clon de su idea.
