FABRIC FUN


I took my daughter to the art store to get a mannequin to help with her drawing and... ooooh LOOK! Wood carving tools. I hadn't played with them since high school so just had to have them. Flexible fabric paint was half price so I decided to make stamps for fabric decoration.



I used the triquetra stamp on t-shirt material and used it for a bag. Then I decided to make stencils by printing out designs, taping plastic sheets (from miscellaneous plastic packaging) over the top with masking tape and cutting out the design with a craft blade.





I love the biohazard symbol.




I also did a dalek and a radiation symbol.




These little guys are Kodama (tree spirits from the anime film Princess Mononoke). They're so cute I just had to make a stencil print. Not sure what I'll use the fabric for yet...




This leather wallet was given to me by a friend who was clearing out her possessions for an international move and I converted it into a knitting accessory kit. Safety pins and sewing needles are kept on credit-card-sized plastic pieces covered with fabric and I used a knitted cover for the tapestry needles. It's great to carry around with my knitting project du jour.
