Winner of the Day 2 giveaway is Laura
And Creating Yardage...
My great friend Judith and I watched an episode on DMTV, online paid subscription workshops, produced by Linda and Laura Kemshall. It was about making a continuous all over print also known as yardage. The Kemshalls asked that we not demonstrate what was on their show since these subscriptions are how they make a living. I can relate. However, I can show you what I made and let you know that subscribing to DMTV is the BEST money I spend each year. I subscribe by the year which is the best value at a little under $100./year. Think how much you spend for one workshop!! Not only are these women talented and famous but produce the most interesting workshops. I think they have a free workshop you can watch.
Anyway, on with the show. Here it is in pictures.
This is some of the blue colorway I made with left overs from Coastal 2
Here is the continuation of the padded printing surface story. You can see the 1" foam covered with a scrap of old cheap bed quilt my parents had (made in China) covered on top with white felt.
This surface is a dream to pin into which is a necessity for printing fabric. Tight, tight, tight.
Some black ProChemical and Dye "Profab" fabric paint on a foam meat tray and a smooth foam roller. It may be smooth and look impervious but it still soaks up loads of paint.
My carved stamp (6" X 6"). This stamp will produce a continuous print. It is called Soft-Kut and is available at Blick. I have adhered it to a 6" X 6" square of 1" Styrofaom. I should have stock in the Corning Company. I used Elmer's Rubber Cement. I love this stuff.
Marking top up is VITAL.
Unlike me you should mark the dead center of your fabric (smile) for the first center print.
