Too Exciting And Not Enough Time

Whats up? As my lovely son says when he arrives home. Well whats up is I’ve been beavering away creating new stamps some of which was launched at The Big Stamp Show in London and also at the Knitting and Stitching Show also at Ally Pally in the coming weeks. The Seedpod stamp is what I’ve used to do pieces in the pictures below. They are stamped, stitched, painted, gilded and they were a load of fun to make, until I realized I was getting obsessed and moved on to doing things with hot dots which is something else that we have brought in to the craftynotions family of goodies. Anyway the pictures are below. I’ve used Khadi zig zag as the backgrounds. The paper stitches beautifully and takes colours like a dream.

Hot Dots, ermm… One could get obsessed by these as well. These are the ones Kim T uses in her Hot Textiles book. On the pieces I have done I have used them to overlay previously foiled velvet to give a subtle on a colour sprayed background with a different coloured foils.

Just to let you know as well the Flower Stitchers are on their way and one final thing. The teaching studio that we have been waiting for will be ready very soon. I’m so excited and we’ll probably post the evolution of it from a shell to a creative hub.

OOoo… Too Exciting!
