Fabric Beads - I'm Having Too Much Fun!

I'm making bookmarks to put out in my ArtFire Studio. I'm also going through some of the techniques in "Fabric Art Workshop" by Susan Stein. One of the techniques is making Fabric Beads. So much fun! And a great way to use up some of the scraps in my Scrap Bin. I hate throwing away fabric and thread when I'm working on a project and this gives me a great way to "Be Green"! The first picture shows some netting that is leftover from a project with varigated threads laid on it. The next pictures are of the beads after I have heat set them. I'm going to dust them with a light spray of polyurethane to seal them and give them a little bit of shine. After I get that done, my bookmarks will be complete and those pictures will be in my next blog post.
Until next time, have a Fabtastic Day!

One of My Finds in Santa Fe

While we were in Santa Fe, walking around and looking in Antique Stores and such, I found this great looking leaves on a "Clearance Rack". I thought they would make great rubbings with my Artist's PaintStik's. So yesterday I pulled out some of my left over hand painted fabric and started rubbing. I love it! You can see the veining in the pictures. I'm going to use this sample on some bookmarks that I'm making to add to my ArtFire Studio.
