<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Unlike with the paper mache vessels, with paper clay,
you need to have pre-planned for stitching on your vessel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can make holes after the fact but it isn’t
easy and you definitely run the risk of damaging your vessel – a fine drill bit
will work but you don’t want to do it too close to the edge of your vessel or
too close to other holes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It can take
out more clay than you anticipate on the other side as the drill bit exits so
making the holes while the clay is wet or damp is the best solution.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Piercing holes for a border edging<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The edge of your vessel remains a delicate area, so
you will need to manage it with care.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As
the clay dries, it can crack.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You want
your clay to be a uniform thickness if at all possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The edge can be the most delicate area when
releasing your vessel from the mold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When you are making your holes with your awl, make them at least a ¼”
from the edge of the clay and ¼” to 1/3” apart. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Remember to pierce the holes from both sides of the
vessel. If you paint your vessel or varnish it, you may need to use your awl
again to make sure that the holes have not been clogged with paint or
varnish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Spin the awl, or use a drilling
motion –DO NOT PUSH.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Once all the edging holes are complete, it’s time to
do a Blanket/buttonhole stitch around the edge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I use the term Buttonhole and Blanket stitch interchangeably even though
I believe there is a slight difference between the two.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">All knots are on the inside and secured with full
strength PVA, then the tails are trimmed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I use crochet cotton #10, mainly because I then went on to crochet an
edging into the buttonhole stitch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perle
cotton, or embroidery floss would work as well if you were not planning to
crochet.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">One thing that you can do if you wish is crochet –
that is completely optional.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For anyone interested,
this is how I began to do the crochet work on my vessel edging.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used the loops that I created with the
buttonhole stitch as the foundation row for my crochet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I held the tail of the crochet thread along
the edge of the vessel and wove it in as I crocheted along the vessel edge so
that there would not be any loose threads.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You can see all this in the accompanying videos below.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

buttonhole stitches as link stitches to allow you to couch fibres to the edge
of your vessel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You could take
decorative fibres that might be too thick to stitch through the paper clay and couch
them to the vessel using the legs or loops of the buttonhole stitch as anchor
places to attach the fibres.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Additional
touches of PVA could also be used to secure the fibres if necessary.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">You could also choose to do a form of needle lace
using the buttonhole stitch as an anchoring stitch for your work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another
possibility is to do a type of string art stitching using the blanket stitch as

Clay</span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">As I’ve continued to work with paper clay, I’ve
learned a few more things:<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I took Janis’ suggestion and got a silicon art mat for
rolling out my paper clay. It has made a
difference. I no longer have to tape
down parchment paper which seems to defy masking tape and will crease and leave
creases in my paper clay. The art mat (not
baking sheet)is smooth, large enough to roll a reasonable piece of clay, and
easy to wipe down with water. It rolls
for storage (around my rolling pin) when not needed.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

glass bowl as a mold. I am able to make regular shapes and irregular shapes
depending upon whether I cut a circle to place inside the glass bowl or simply
use an irregular piece of paper clay and fit and piece it as I want the vessel
to appear.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Using a glass bowl, lightly dusting the inside with
cornstarch and pressing my paper clay inside the bowl to form my vessel is
working extremely well. I can still use
my awl to make holes from the inside to the outside – they will barely be
pinpricks showing on the outside at first but that is not a problem. Leave the vessel to dry for at least 24 hours
(possibly more depending upon drying conditions). When the inside appears whitish (somewhat dry
and hard enough to keep its shape), <u>lightly</u> press down on the edge of
one side of the vessel. If the vessel
begins to move within the glass bowl, you can gently continue pressing on the
edge (as long as it does not deform) until the vessel slides up the side of the
glass bowl and you can remove it. At
this point, you can widen the holes from both sides and turn the vessel over to
dry on the other side. If extra cornstarch
remains on the back of the vessel, it can be gently brushed off with a soft
brush.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Adding embellishments to paper clay vessels definitely
seems to work best if you wait until the vessel has been released from the mold
and is dry. Now that I am creating more
of my vessels by making them inside of my glass bowl, the outside of my vessel
is the last part of the vessel to be released from the mold so it makes sense
that I can’t add embellishments until I have released it. Earlier though, I was making vessels on the
outside of my plastic and silicone molds (and will continue to use those
shapes). I discovered that the flexing
that happened during the release process created enough stress to cause embellishments
to detach from the vessel (even if the precaution of adding glue had been used). <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">When I waited until after removing the vessel from the
mold and then added the embellishment – with a bit of glue – it adhered
beautifully. I did use a bit of “delicate”
(purple) painter’s tape (from which I had removed a bit of the tackiness) to
make sure it remained in close contact with the vessel during the drying
process. I didn’t want it to lift during
shrinkage. That was just on the ends
because the pieces were long feathers, and I was leaving it overnight. I was
able to remove the tape easily, with no damage to the embellishment or vessel.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

clay, Creative Paper Clay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s an air
dry clay that must be kept in an air tight container once opened.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">We are going to be making very simple bowls.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Correction – I’m going to be making a very
simple bowl, using another small bowl as my mold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Taking a portion of the clay and using a
piece of parchment paper that I’ve taped down to my work surface, I’m using a
non-porous rolling pin to roll out my clay to an even thickness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My clay is about 3/8” thick and roughly 7 – 8
“ in diameter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am going to drape that
over the small silicon bowl that I am using as a mold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am using silicon because it has some give
and flexibility which means that I should be able to remove it from the clay
reasonably easily.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(I hope).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If it were a harder surface I would have
covered it in cling wrap so that I would have had some way of separating the
clay from the mold. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">When you press and shape the clay to the outer side of the
mold, you may get cracks or tears and you will need to patch these up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is when you may need to dampen the clay
to smooth out the cracks. While the clay is moist you can use your tools, to
smooth the side or add texture to the side, whichever you wish.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">If you plan to stitch into your vessel, you will need to add
the stitching holes before the clay dries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If you plan to have a stitched edging, you will need to add holes along
the top edge of the vessel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can use
the awl to mark the placement of the holes while the vessel is still on the mold,
but the holes will not go all the way through. Once you have molded the vessel
into the shape that you want and the vessel has had some time to partially firm
up ( not long), you can release the vessel from the mold, and it will retain it’s
shape.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can then use the awl to complete
the holes that were marked along the edge of the vessel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Re-pierce each hole, from the inside to the outside,
making sure that it is large enough for your needle and thread to go through.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Use a twisting, drilling motion if necessary
to make sure that the awl goes through – do not use force. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">If you plan to add stitches at any other points in your
vessel, you will need to add the stitches holes now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is much easier to do when the clay is
still damp. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Leave your vessel to dry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There may be some shrinkage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your
vessel may be painted and or decorated before stitching.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A varnish can be used to protect the surface.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I didn’t mention paper string in my class description
because I hadn’t found it in my stash at the time, I was writing the
proposal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was only when I began
playing with the paper mâché that I found it, began unraveling it to see if it
would work as a paper to use in the process and then began to wonder about what
else I could do.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Not long after I began playing with it, paper string,
paper twine and raffia began popping up in my feed. My search algorithm for
paper artists who made vessels was finally starting to get results and my poor
efforts were put to shame as you will see in Lesson 3 – Inspiration.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">What I am sharing here are some of my efforts using
“extras” not mentioned in the official class description in case you might want
to experiment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve included the links
to the demo videos that I made as I played.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Have fun. – it’s all completely optional.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Using Paper String As Is – Twined or Rolled<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">This has to be the easiest way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You cut a fairly long length – I can’t give
you an exact amount because I’ve only tried this twice, but I must have used at
least a meter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can always add
more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I made a medium sized vessel on a balloon,
and I would suggest a balloon (at least for your first) because this is quite
rigid when done – not a lot of wiggle.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">You soak or dip your paper string in your water/glue
mixture (yes, this is messier than the paper mache). Pull it out with your
fingers and wipe off excess glue and begin wrapping the string around the
balloon that you have attached to your container (note: the width of the
container will be the width of the vessel opening). You wrap from the top of
your balloon on an arcing angle down to the neck of your container and back
around the other side up to the top of the balloon again and move over a bit
and go back down in another arc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
don’t have to be perfect; they can be somewhat random, or you can try to make
them evenly spaced if you want.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My first
attempt was somewhat random, my second attempt I tried to space them roughly
1.5” apart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You keep going until you run
out of string.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Random or precise- they
both work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">When you get to the end of your string, make sure the
end is glued to another piece of string so that the ending is hidden.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will find that the string wraps tightly
near the neck of the container – this makes the neck of your vessel.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">After I played with this, I found that this technique
is actually quite common in lighting fixtures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There are many You Tube videos that will explain in detail, if you
search String Lighting Fixtures.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Using Paper String Unwrapped<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Another way to use paper string is to untwist the
paper string first and then use it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Apparently,
there is quite a resurgence in Paper Twist craft in many areas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Again, after I began to play with it, I found
more and more images showing up in my feed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Most of them had to do with lighting fixtures (involving LED lights,
naturally).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Paper string is sturdy paper
– well, sturdier than tissue – and can handle be untwisted with care and glued
to your mold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did use a little wet
strength tissue to reinforce mine when I was releasing my vessel from my mold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I twisted and untwisted my paper string and
bent it into the shape that I wanted it to have. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Since paper string comes in so many colours it opens
up many possibilities.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">You can add other fibres to your vessel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve added sisal fibres to a vessel by
untwisting a piece of sisal rope and shredding it into its fibre components and
then glueing them to the vessel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also
used the buttonhole stitch at the edge to additionally secure the fibres.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I’ve added lace between layers of tissue with the lace
extending above the tissue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
water/glue mixture is enough to stiffen the lace into the shape that you want

Napkins come in all size and some have incredibly beautiful designs on them. They've long been used for decoupage on a variety of items so it should come as no surprise that they would work well to decorate delicate paper vessels.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Most napkins are two or three ply and you only need the single play that contains the actual image. This give you a very translucent image to work with. Remove the other layer or layers of paper before you begin to isolate the images you want. If your fingers are good enough, use a piece of painter's tape on the back of the napkin to pull away the extra layers of tissue.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Rather than cut out your image, which will give a hard edge, use a fine paint brush and water. Draw a thin line of water around the image you want and gently pull the extra napkin paper away from the image. The paper with feather and tear along the water line. This ragged edge blends in more seamlessly than a hard edge does when you glue the image onto your vessel.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Use a wider brush to apply a coat of glue/water mixture to your vessel. I do this while my vessel is still on the mold so that it will retain its shape while damp. Gently lay the image onto the surface, patting it into place. I find that if I do this slowly and carefully, I get few wrinkles -- it conforms to the shape of my vessel and I pat it into the vessel's nooks and crannies. I then gently (lightly) apply another coat of the water/glue mixture, starting from the center and moving outwards. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://youtu.be/_YGj_uRR9lg" target="_blank">Video: Decorating with Napkins</a></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://youtu.be/SU6hrhpSXgk" target="_blank">Show and Share Lesson 1 Slideshow</a> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Now that you’ve had a chance to study your released
vessel from all angles, you can decide where you want to decorate with
stitch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For this first vessel, we are
going to start with an edging.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please
note that all decoration is at your discretion – you can choose to add it or
not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m simply going to go through the
steps that I take.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The decision is
always yours.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Piercing holes for a border edging<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The edge of your vessel, (even though you have
reinforced it) remains a delicate area, so you will need to manage it with
care.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will be pre-piercing the paper
with holes for sewing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I find that this
makes sewing easier for me and saves my fingers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It isn’t impossible to poke the holes with my
sewing needle, but it isn’t always the most comfortable way to do it and it
isn’t the easiest way to go through several layers of glued paper.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Using a paper piercing tool, awl, or pin vise, pierce
holes about 3/8” to ¼” away from the edge of your vessel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You need to support the back of the paper
with your fingers, so essentially you are holding the edge of the vessel
between your thumb and two fingers and trying to pierce between your two
fingers. Try hard not to poke yourself (you don’t want blood on all your hard
work – just joking).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The paper needs to
be held taut and given support when you pierce it, so it doesn’t try to bend or
tear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You don’t want your finger
directly behind the area you are going to pierce.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will soon find what works best for
you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also have some small pieces of
dense foam that I have cut up and can place behind my vessel edges when I am working,
that helps at times.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Follow the contours of the edge of your vessel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you feel that an area is too thin or the
paper tears, you will need to make a decision and place the hole lower or add a
patch to reinforce the weak area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you
want to keep the tear, place a hole on either side and you can sew over the
tear and make it a feature.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">Review the video from lesson 1 about </span><a href="https://youtu.be/viTbAVjv9WQ" target="_blank"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">piercing holes</span></a><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Once all the edging holes are complete, it’s time to
do a Blanket/buttonhole stitch around the edge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I use the term Buttonhole and Blanket stitch interchangeably even though
I believe there is a slight difference between the two.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">All knots are on the inside and secured with full
strength PVA, then the tails are trimmed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I use crochet cotton #10, mainly because I then went on to crochet an
edging into the buttonhole stitch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perle
cotton, or embroidery floss would work as well if you were not planning to
crochet.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

after piercing it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">At this point, you can leave the edge of your vessel
as complete, or you can continue to work on it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">One thing that you can do if you wish is crochet –
that is completely optional.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For anyone
interested, this is how I began to do the crochet work on my vessel
edging.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used the loops that I created
with the buttonhole stitch as the foundation row for my crochet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I held the tail of the crochet thread along
the edge of the vessel and wove it in as I crocheted along the vessel edge so

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">If you didn’t wish to crochet, you could use the
buttonhole stitches as link stitches to allow you to couch fibres to the edge
of your vessel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You could take
decorative fibres that might be too thick to stitch through the paper and couch
them to the vessel using the legs or loops of the buttonhole stitch as anchor
places to attach the fibres.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Additional
touches of PVA could also be used to secure the fibres if necessary.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">You could also choose to do a form of needle lace using the buttonhole stitch as an anchoring stitch for your work. The decoration on the edge is up to you and your imagination.</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The edge isn’t the only place that stitching can be
added to the vessel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Holes can be
pierced at any point.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You may decide on a pattern or design motif
and arrange that on your vessel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can
lightly mark it and then pierce where the sewing holes need to be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once again, knots should be on the inside
unless you wish to make a feature of them.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">It is also possible to cut out areas of your vessels
and stitch over the openings. This can be quite effective.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When cutting it can be helpful to use an awl
to begin a hole for the blade to start.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Always use a sharp blade, a cutting mat and follow safe cutting
practices.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The glued paper can be quite
hard.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

imagination.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One thing to keep in mind
when making your vessel, if you plan on stitching, is the size of the
opening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have a broad hand and a small

milk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What I’ve read says 50/50 water/glue,
but I must admit that I’m not that accurate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I start with my glue (which is usually what I have on hand as all-purpose
white PVA – Elmers School Glue or Glue All), then I add water until it is thins
to the consistency of milk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It might be
slightly different depending upon the glue that you use – thinner glues need
less water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You just need it to spread
easily.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p>

if possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The length will vary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I started out using longer strips but began
experimenting with smaller pieces 2” – 4” in length.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I find the smaller pieces can give less
wrinkling as you are building up layers, but I also find a few longer pieces
across the surface of the balloon can be an effective way to begin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Experiment and see what works for you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will find that the WST (wet strength
tissue) and most paper, tears better in one direction than the other.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is better to work with the grain than
against it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tear a substantial number of
strips – better to have too many than too few.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p>

desire and secure it with masking tape to a container to raise it from your workspace
and to stabilize it while you are working on it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I use bowls, jars, cardboard rings – anything
that will give a firm base.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Use as much
masking tape as you need to secure the balloon to the container.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I sometimes have a problem with the masking
tape releasing at inopportune moments – not good!<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p>

your paper strips to the balloon. You can give the balloon a spritz of water to
hold the first strip and then use your brush to apply the glue on top or apply
a coat of glue directly to the balloon and place the paper on the glue and then
apply more glue on top.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Either method
will work. Overlap your next strip of paper and apply glue with your
brush.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Use your brush to smooth down the
paper. Keep applying strips (or patches, as the small pieces of paper are
called) until you have covered as much of the balloon as you want.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p>

without waiting for the first to dry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You will find that when adding the next layer of paper, the glue on the
surface will grab the tissue and make it easy for you to smooth it down with
your brush.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes very little extra
glue is needed for the second layer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Add
it judiciously.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You don’t want to make
things too wet. I place my strips/patches on in a random way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I find that adds to strength.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If I put a vertical over a horizontal it is
stronger than two vertically seamed areas. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Two to three layers will give you a strong yet
relatively thin vessel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I might have
more layers on the base of the vessel for stability and less on the sides but
that is purely a matter of personal taste (and the fact that I plan to stitch
and pierce holes on the sides)<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p>

thin, this can be the time to add more layers or define them a bit more. If you

vessel from your mold – the balloon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
don’t poke the balloon; I undo it so I can control the air release </span></span><span style="line-height: 107%; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span><span>(If you find you can’t undo it, you can stretch the neck of the balloon, pinch/twist it closed and cut off the very top near the knot)</span>. </span></span><span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="line-height: 107%; text-indent: -0.25in;">You want to slowly release the air so that
you can loosen the glue and paper from the balloon and not deform your vessel –
it is fragile, and it is stuck to the balloon.</span><span style="line-height: 107%; mso-spacerun: yes; text-indent: -0.25in;">
</span><span style="line-height: 107%; text-indent: -0.25in;">As the balloon slowly deflates, pry the paper from the balloon. Once you
start to do this it should come away easily. Once you go all around the edges

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">This class
is going to be about making vessels of different shapes and sizes using a
variety of paper based techniques and materials.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While teaching Paper, Paint, Stitch and More…
I discovered paper artists who also explored the use of paper in 3 dimensional
ways and that led me to those who made paper vessels.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was smitten.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were so beautiful, so delicate yet
strong, so organic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only problem was
that I couldn’t find a lot of instructions ---<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>just a few images here and there of some very intriguing vessels with a
caption underneath mentioning the materials used to create them.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">That led to
a lengthy period of dropping down rabbit holes and following images back to
artist blogs, searching online and experimentation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are hoping for all the answers, I’m
sorry, I don’t have them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What I do have
to share are my experiences working with several types of paper (the number is
constantly growing as I sort through what I have on hand) to make paper m</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">â</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">ch</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">é</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> vessels, as well as some time spent
dabbling with paper clay and paper pulp to see how that adapts to making
vessels.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I found
that for me, making the vessel was just the first step.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As happy as I might be with the shape, if it
sits still long enough, I want to put some stitches into it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Luckily, paper and I have a happy history
when it comes to stitching.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I find it a
very rewarding medium to work with and while the 3-dimensional shape might
provide a challenge occasionally, it’s one I enjoy.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The list of
things that I still want to try is longer than the list of things that I have tried,
and I am hoping that I will get to experiment with some of those ideas during
this class.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It all starts with, “I
wonder what would happen if …?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once
you’ve made a vessel or two, you’ll know just what I mean.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

waterfall so that the last mat and print is folded up and only the short end of
the remaining paper under the fold line is showing. This is the area that will be attached to the
pulley holder. Apply adhesive to this
area. Line this up with the holder area
between the 4 1/8” and 8 1/8” score marks and try to center it to the best of
your ability. You don’t want to impede the fold line, but you want to bring it
up as close as you can to the line for a nice clean look. You don’t want adhesive <u>anywhere</u> but
on the short piece of paper and where it touched the pulley holder. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="style-scope"><span style="background: white; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #0f0f0f; padding: 0in;"><o:p><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoListParagraph" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="style-scope"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #0f0f0f; padding: 0in;">12.<span style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span class="style-scope"><span style="background: white; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #0f0f0f; padding: 0in;">The 15<sup>th</sup>

you can see how the waterfall mechanism works.
You could close the back of the pulley holder at this point or wait
until you have the covers ready. If you
close the back now, make sure that the adhesive is only on the paper of the
pulley holder itself – just join the edges of the paper together. The pulley must be able to move freely and
not catch on anything.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="style-scope"><span style="background: white; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #0f0f0f; padding: 0in;"><o:p><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin: 0in;"><o:p><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></o:p></p></blockquote><p> <a href="https://youtu.be/VU0ZS7Tbkyo" target="_blank">Video: Making the Covers</a></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p style="background: white; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><o:p> </o:p><b style="background-color: transparent;"><u><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #0f0f0f; padding: 0in;">Covers</span></u></b></span></p>

decorative paper or decorative tape to cover your spine. The spine is ½” wide to allow for the
thickness of the prints. If your
waterfall is thicker, you will need to make a thicker spine piece and adjust
accordingly. Place one cover, your spine
piece, and then your second cover. You
will need to leave approximately two thicknesses of the cardboard that you are
using between the cover and the spine pieces.
Once you have that distance determined.
You can add adhesive to the decorative paper, covering your spine piece
and lay out your pieces again.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p></blockquote>

cardstock and stitched with embroidery floss.
You will be able to get two cards from a single piece of 8.5 x 11” cardstock. They will fit a standard
greeting card envelope. I’ve used a
sturdy mixed media or 90 lb./ 190 gsm watercolour to a 140 lb./ 300 gsm
watercolour paper for the stitching base.
Regular cardstock, in colours of your choice, can be used for the mats
and cards themselves.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I'll be taking part in a team teaching effort in "<b>Making Textile Cards</b>" with Eleaner Noon and Jan Van Fleet. I'll have the last two classes, one in November and one in December. By a</span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">dding stitch to paper you can add pizzaz to even the most simple card. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I'll also be teaching,<b>"Let's Make Artist Books"</b> a three day course that will offer instruction in four different book structures that will let participants use up decorative papers they may have made in previous workshops or classes. We will be making a rotating star book (also known as a kaleidoscope book), a waterfall fold book, a maze fold book and an explosion or squash fold book. These sculptural, interactive type of books are a good vehicle for showing off those special papers you would like to give pride of place to in your work. You can embellish them with stitch before you attach them to the base structure of your book if you wish. The course will take place over a 3 day period, one day in October, one in November, and one in early December. That will give you plenty of time in between to embellish your papers or take your time at any stage.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://youtu.be/2HS-idRI2Pk" target="_blank">Preview video</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></p>CAWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00990706436744484638noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434267878842710964.post-63780431721805078872022-04-12T12:07:00.006-07:002022-11-05T16:46:01.806-07:00Paper, Paint, Stitch and More...

Embellishments</span></p><p style="text-align: left;">

embellishing paper is not as boring as it sounds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We aren’t simply talking about adding another
layer of paper to your piece but manipulating paper into something more
dimensional and creative and adding the resulting decorative item to your work
in progress.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">One simple
form of paper embellishment can be the use of paper die cuts. These can be
purchased pre-punched and coloured, homemade from purchased metal dies,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>or purchased hand punches, and designed and
cut using innovative technology such as electronic cutting machines.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, the term “die cut” has been expanded
to cover most extras that are pre-cut from cardstock or paper included tags,
dimensional stickers and chipboard elements.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Manipulating
Paper<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Paper can
also be manipulated to make embellishments.
As mentioned in an earlier class, weaving paper can be done on a large
scale to make a background or as a way of making layers, but it can also be
done as a form of embellishment.
Partially weaving into a piece can enhance your artwork. A smaller, woven item can be used as an
embellishment.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Paper, in
the form of cord or string, can be knitted, to create an interesting texture. This can be firm in its own right if the
paper cord/rope is thick but it can also be made firm by using a textile
stiffener if that is what your piece requires. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">

to paper, cardboard, particularly corrugated cardboard, can provide texture and
dimension to paper art. The top layer of
the cardboard can be torn or cut away revealing the corrugation beneath. This

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Paper casting<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Paper
casting is the forming of paper from fibre or pulp using a dimensional mold.
The experimenting we are going to be doing will be with recycled paper or with
layers of napkin or toilet paper.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Typically,
the paper would be soaked overnight or longer if you have the patience (this is
definitely needed for recycled paper) to break down the fibres into pulp. .<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Heating the water can also help break down
the fibres. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It helps if the soaked paper can be blended
using a household blender or immersion blender to further break down the
fibres. It is appropriate at this time to add a binder to the pulp.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A bit of watered down PVA or methyl cellulose
or wheat or rice starch paste can be added. A lot is not needed. The finer the
pulp, the smoother the cast paper <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b>DO NOT</b> throw
the excess slurry water down a household drain when you are finished – it will
cause problems – the bits of fibre still in the water will harden when they
dry. Dispose of it outside or let it evaporate and save any dried fibre for
next time. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">You can use
almost anything as a mold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have used
deep cut rubber stamps.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Carved wooden
blocks have been used, clay cookie stamps have been used. Silicone molds,
chocolate molds, and molds for polymer clay are just a few other examples.
Anything that has depressions in it can be used.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If it is a rubber or plastic surface, the
paper won’t stick but it might to a porous surface so in that case it is wise
to spray the mold with a release agent – like a silicon release or a cooking
spray.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Scoop some
of the pulp and pat it into the mold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
is good to protect your work surface because you will be removing the excess
water and the surface could get wet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Put
enough pulp into the mold to fill it and press down to compact the pulp and
more if necessary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You need to press the
pulp into all the depressions. You don’t want any air bubbles. When the pulp
fills the mold, you can use a sponge or soft cloths to press down on the
surface of the pulp to continue to compress it and to help remove some of the
excess water. When you have removed as much excess as possible, leave the pulp
to dry in the mold, naturally, in a warm place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Use the point of a knife to gently release the paper from the mold when
dry.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Any excess
pulp can be put in an air-tight container and frozen until you want to use it
again.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Using pulp
is the best way to do paper casting but there is a quick a dirty way that
doesn’t involve the fuss and mess or making the pulp but still gives satisfactory results. This involves using layers of toilet paper or the extra plies of
napkins.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, that’s right, toilet
paper.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These casting are a little more
delicate than the pulp variety and you have to take a bit more care to bond the
layers together, but you do get reliable results. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">You need to
have some watered down PVA, or PVA/methylcellulose mix ready in a small
container because you are going to use this will a small, stiff paint brush to
tamp the layers of paper together to bond them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When your mold is ready, tear a piece of toilet paper or napkin and<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>lay it at the bottom of the mold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dip your paint brush into the glue/water
mixture and tap the paper into the crevices of the mold. Lay the next piece of
paper into place and repeat the process. Keep adding paper and using the
glue/water mixture on the paint brush to tamp the layers together. The first
layers will seem to dissolve because the paper is so fragile, but gradually you
will begin to see the layers begin to build up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This is something to do while you are listening to music or watching
TV.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is much slower than using the pulp,
but it doesn’t require the advance preparation and you don’t have to guess at
how much pulp you are going to need to make.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Once the
mold is full, you will use the sponge or cloth to press down on the paper to
remove any excess water from the paper. When it is as compressed and dry as
possible, leave it to dry completely in the mold and then remove
carefully.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If the layers have been
completely saturated with the glue mixture, they should be bonded.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The one weakness of this method is that if not
completely bonded, the layers can separate if handled too much. That is not a
problem if the piece is mounted and does not experience too much handling. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">You can
create your own dimensional embellishments using paper clay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is also readily available from most
craft and art supply stores.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a
staple in my home because I share the supply with a 12 year old who is very
artistic and loves to draw, animate and work with clay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Paper clay is an air dry product that does
not need any special tools or equipment to produce your embellishments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You need to protect your work surface – I use
my Teflon mat which wipes down easily.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
use a piece or plastic/acrylic tube as a roller to roll it out flat and you can
use anything to make a mark or impression.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I used the same molds that I had for paper casting as molds for paper
clay. My molds are flexible, so it is easy to get the dried clay out without
damaging either mold or clay. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact,
it was possible to remove the damp clay from the molds. The dried clay can be
painted and sealed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are planning
to stitch your embellishment onto your piece, don’t forget to make the
stitching holes before it dries – that’s why I tried removing the clay from the
molds while damp.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>¼” is a good thickness
for flat pieces</span>. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">There are

Clay<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">This could
become an entire class on its own, but I wanted to throw this in because it can
be a great way to make molded or sculpted embellishments for those who like to
play with clay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s oven dried, comes
in many colours and is just fun.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
played with it years ago and only used one example in this class.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I took some PREMO Sculpey (Brand name) and
rolled it out to about ¼” thickness and then I did a napkin image transfer to
put a design on it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is a very easy
process that just involved taking the top layer of a napkin and putting it face
down on the clay, covering it with a bit of parchment paper and rubbing it
firmly with my finger.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now it’s ready to
bake in the oven according to the clay directions. (Mine baked at 250 for
between 20- -30 min)<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The next
step is to remove the paper from the clay and just like with any other image
transfer you use water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can spray
water on the back when the clay has cooled or dip it in water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used the spray method.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rub your finger over the wet napkin surface and
the paper will begin to rub off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Keep wetting
and rubbing until you have removed the paper and left the ink from the image
behind.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

- Part 1</span></span></h3><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://youtu.be/AXnS4dOYAJs" target="_blank">Lesson 5 Presentation Video</a></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Ephemera is
sometimes explained as “items of collectible memorabilia that were expected to
have only short-term usefulness or popularity.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When working with mixed media, this definition is loosely applied and
the term “ephemera” can be used to describe collected, found, and made items
that are added to works of art.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: normal; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Working with
Metal</span></span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"></h3><p style="text-align: left;">
</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">There are a
lot of ways you can add metal to your piece.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Some of the easiest are by using metal charms or beads. These are easily
found in $ stores, craft stores and by taking apart jewellery found in thrift
stores. Using found items such tabs from pop cans or items from the hardware
store (such as washers, finishing nails or chains) are another way to add metal
to your piece.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Picture
wire, craft wire, floral wire, and electrical wire are all easily available and
can be used straight, as an element to weave into your piece or they can be
bent into shapes and used as a decorative element that can be stitched on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wire can also be wrapped around paper beads
to add a further layer of decoration.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">One thing
that I do want to spend some time on is the embossing of metal. When you talk
about the thickness of wire or metal you usually refer to the gauge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The higher the number, the thinner the metal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For example, a 16-gauge wire is much thicker
than a 24-gauge wire; a 36-gauge metal sheet is thinner than a 24-gauge metal
sheet. When you get to 36-gauge, it is sometimes called tooling foil. This is
much thicker and has much more body than the aluminum foil that we use for
cooking – even the extra heavy-duty type.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is made for tooling (or embossing with tools) to create raised and
depressed areas.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">We aren’t
going to go to the trouble of trying to locate tooling foil, however.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are going to use some easy to find work
arounds that are available in nearby home and hardware stores.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To begin with, you can try heavy-duty
aluminum foil – the type that is use for barbeques.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fold the foil until you have about 4
layers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Make sure the foil is smooth.
Put the foil on a soft surface like a piece of craft foam or a layer of several
newspapers (you want some give under the foil).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Using a small ball topped embossing tool, or a ballpoint pen (that
doesn’t work) draw your design on the foil.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You want to use a rounded tool that won’t poke through the aluminum. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you have a paper stump, or a cuticle stick
or a chopstick, these may come in handy for smoothing or creating texture.
Something with a small, smooth curved edge can be handy as well.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">From this
point on there is going to be a lot of flipping back and forth as you try to
create your raised areas on one side and emphasis them on the other.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Here is a
video that explains the process.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Aluminum
foil isn’t the only form of aluminum that is easy to access that can be
embossed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can also use the aluminum
from aluminum cans.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cut apart the body
of the can and use the aluminum you find here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You will need strong utility shears or tin snips to do this and will
need to be careful because the edges will be sharp.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They should be folded over, filed, or taped
for you protection.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The same
techniques for tooling are used here as well. You will use a small ball topped
tool to trace your design and then begin refining it, switching back and forth
between sides to enhance the design. The following video shows you how to make
a small box but the steps he used to cut the can and do the embossing are
exactly what you would do to make your embellishment.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Working on
an aluminum can for any length of time can be hard on your wrist so my
preferred method of working with metal is to use metal tape. Metal tape come in
both aluminum and copper. Let’s start with aluminum.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">You will
find aluminum tape in any hardware store or department, and it’s typically used
for HVAC work among other things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
comes in different thicknesses, measured in mil and if you are putting it over
a cardstock background, any thickness will work. If you are trying to make a
standalone item, look for the thickest tape you can find.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can use metal tape in a way similar to
aluminum foil or can where you draw your design right on the back of the tape
(or card the tape is on) and keep flipping back and forth to refine it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When the design is as refined as you like,
the entire surface is covered with a coat of black acrylic paint.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The paint can be let dry and then removed
with steel wool or removed with a paper towel while still damp. The black paint
should remain in the deep crevices of the design while being removed from the
raised surfaces.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Another way
to use metal tape is to lay something on top of the card stock (like chipboard
letters or paper clips or anything else that will create a raised texture) and
then put the metal tape on top of these items).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The metal tape is then smoothed around these items, gently at first, to
stretch the tape and then with more pressure to show more detail. This creates
“faux embossing.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When sufficient detail
has been revealed, the surface is covered with black acrylic as above and
removed to highlight the design. If too much paint is removed, more can be
added. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://youtu.be/KlPoz1q7Yuc" target="_blank">Working with Meta</a>l</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://youtu.be/L0zrOgTA8lI" target="_blank">Working with Metal II</a></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://youtu.be/7DH-Wx-g-yk" target="_blank">Metal Tape Question</a></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">In addition
to aluminum tape, copper tape is readily available, and it comes in various
widths.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is easily found in ¼,” a size
that is frequently used for stained glass work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You can also find it in 2” width and this is the one that I use.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Embossing copper works in the same way as
embossing aluminum, in that you need to draw your design and then refine it
from the other side. Just as with aluminum, you will go back and forth from one
side to another until the design is the way you want it. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://youtu.be/VRtwata6T3c" target="_blank">Working with Copper</a></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">One nice
feature that aluminum does not have is that copper changes colour with
heat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you use a heat gun or a torch,
the copper will turn yellow, red, and blue as it heats up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Copper will also oxidize as it is exposed
over time to the air, so if you like the colour you achieve and which to keep
it that way, you will need to seal the copper with a light coat of
sealer/varnish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you wish a patina to
develop you can leave the copper exposed to the air or help it along by
exposing it to vinegar and then rinsing when the effect has been achieved. You
can also use other chemicals to develop a patina if you wish but these require
precautions for use and disposal so won’t be discussed here. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Brass shim,
which is a very thin metal can be purchased in a roll from Lee Valley.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It also changes colour when heated and can be
stitched through.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It isn’t as malleable
as the aluminum or copper tape and is quite thin so while you can do some
embossing, the results are not as attractive, and it can be prone to
tearing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It does look nice when textured
and stitched into a piece. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Another way
of adding a metallic look to paper is through gold or metallic leaf.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In order to apply the leaf, an adhesive must
be used.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The leaf is applied when the
adhesive is tacky but not wet. The leaf will stick to the adhesive and a soft
brush will remove it from any area where adhesive has not been applied.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If parchment or wax paper is put on top of
the gold leaf, it can be burnished by rubbing with a smooth object like the
back of a spoon or your finger.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you
want a more textured look, gold leaf flakes can be used.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are proper gilding adhesives (they will
give the best results) but acrylic mediums and PVA glues will work if you let
them dry to a tacky state.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Metal leaf
comes in gold, copper, silver, and a combination of metals. There is also real
gold leaf as well as the imitation. (For our purposes imitation leaf is a much
better value) <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">While the
last two references are geared more towards professional artists, they are the
most thorough explanation of applying metal leaf for artistic effect, I’ve
seen. Many people who discuss using metal leaf with watercolour do not discuss
the possibility of the gold leaf tarnishing with exposure to air over time. If
you buy a kit, (which is a simple way to start) you are provided with the
appropriate sealer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

in your paper can be an interesting device when creating a piece for stitching.

placement of holes in your work can be carefully planned and executed. When I was working on my stitched accordion
book, I was careful to place my circles in exactly the same place on each
panel of the accordion so that they would line up when the book was opened like
a codex. I wanted the stitches in each circle to overlay one another and build
up the effect. That took planning on my part. I measured and drew my circles
from the back of the accordion and cut them out with an exacto knife. I could have used a die cut machine or
scissors – use whatever you feel comfortable with. </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiOpjJ6_h8I2PJnBesPYTf2MgMO08mlCnYevLGDehtqsA_u3EMMcjvDY03FcAD2wU2FMipHnro7UIAG2wOIS3JGtbDqREdmMw4aQGjzVLvnKAi6Qk8l9Kstvhumro1HNws0tBCJ2ZxAMLDmyFq88bUhpDSaf8tofREOH-64gtk6r8KZI1s3ziRqrA=s1280" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="570" data-original-width="1280" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiOpjJ6_h8I2PJnBesPYTf2MgMO08mlCnYevLGDehtqsA_u3EMMcjvDY03FcAD2wU2FMipHnro7UIAG2wOIS3JGtbDqREdmMw4aQGjzVLvnKAi6Qk8l9Kstvhumro1HNws0tBCJ2ZxAMLDmyFq88bUhpDSaf8tofREOH-64gtk6r8KZI1s3ziRqrA=w504-h214" width="504" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Random</span></span></h3><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">You can

will get a layered white edge if your paper is painted, coloured, or

removed when tearing up and the core is exposed, and the bottom layer is removed when tearing down. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

working with layers of thin or delicate paper, particularly when you are using
machine stitching as a way of holding the paper together, it is easy to remove
areas to create holes. For example, when
you are using machine stitch to make a grid on newspaper, it is very easy to
remove sections of the grid by using water and a paintbrush. Use a waterbrush or dip a narrow paint brush into
water and draw a line of water next to the machine stitching. Allow the water to soak into the
newsprint. When the paper is wet, it is
easy to tear the paper away, leaving the stitching intact. This will leave holes in the grid. You can
then apply colour to any of the remaining areas.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">

<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Burning Holes in Paper</span></span></h3><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Burning
holes in your paper can add an additional design element to your work as well
as visual interest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One way to
accomplish this is through the use of a soldering iron or a woodburning tool.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will allow for a controlled burn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Safety precautions are needed because the
tools get to significant temperatures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is best to work on a heat resistant surface, have water and a damp
cloth available as well as a stand or suitable place to rest the tool while
hot. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I usually
work over an aluminum cookie tray with a Teflon sheet on the bottom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will catch any ash or embers from the
paper. My heat tool comes with its own stand, but I have that on a granite tile
as well. I have a spray bottle of water close at hand. I find that this tool is
useful for making small holes or tracing a larger shape that I want to take out
of the paper.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">My favourite
way of burning holes in paper is to use an incense stick. The smoldering end of
the incense is not an open flame ( I did experiment with burning the edges of
paper with a candle) but provides enough heat to burn a hole through paper
easily.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is also easy to control the
size of the hole. You can let the edges of the hole continue to burn away until
it is a size you’d like and then blow out the embers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don’t wait too long, though.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is better to move the incense stick
around, inside the hole to make the hole larger.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">If you have
the option of trying both methods, see which one you prefer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They each have their strengths. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In addition to burning holes, both methods are
useful for burning the edges of paper.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Torn edges can be enhanced by burning, particularly when you are
layering differing weights of paper in <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>monochrome layers.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

referenced in the previous lesson, there</span> are
many types and weights of paper that can be used for stitching and essentially
it becomes a matter of personal preference.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Once you have taken into account the necessary stability required for
your work, the choice of paper is up to you. You will be making the decision of
whether your finished piece will be mounted on another substrate and therefore
it does not need to be substantial in and of itself or whether it must stand or
be displayed on its own. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Paper can be

paper that comes as protective packaging in parcels can provide an interesting
texture to paper that is then painted and used as a layer in your project. The paint or ink will be darker in the creases
and provide and interesting effect that could enhance your stitching. We spoke of this last lesson.</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">If you want the look of layers without the stiffness of a
regular collage, you could consider making fabric paper or paper fabric. This is the technique of layering/bonding
thin papers on a base of thin fabric using a liquid medium. Typically, a fine cheesecloth or muslin is used
as the base (though even dryer anti
static sheets work) and a wide range of delicate papers may be used to build up
the paper layers. Diluted acrylic medium
or PVA glue is used to bond the layers together. The texture of the diluted medium should be
like milk so that it can easily saturate the papers and not tear the delicate
fibres. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">

are a couple of videos showing how to do it without investing in much more than
dollar store supplies. You will need a bit of patience to let the paper pieces
soak to soften but it is workable. If
you put the paper through a shredder, it will be smaller and if you soak it
longer it will disintegrate even more.
You can use an immersion blender if you don’t have a large one or even
pull it apart by hand if you have the patience. (Make sure to clean the blender
out well when you are finished). When you are squeezing the water out, you can
also run a rolling pin over the tea towel to get some extra water out. Make sure you protect your surface before you
start this project.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UbtqtVBbkM" target="_blank">How to Make Paper | HomemadePaper (Recycled) - YouTube</a><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mG-aNXogTw&t=651s" target="_blank">Handmade Paper using dollar tree supplies / without blender tips - YouTube</a><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><a href="https://youtu.be/ofH2SNyHudk" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">My Attempts</span></a></span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">

Fibre Skin Layers<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Paper
is made out of plant fibres – cotton, cellulose, mulberry and many different
kinds of barks and plants. It is a matter of breaking down the plant fibres so
that they can be beaten and pulped and recombined into sheets of paper. We are
going to take a look as something slightly different and the term used is
skins. This comes from the fact that
acrylics, when left to dry, will form a pliable skin on a non-porous surface that can be carefully removed in one piece.
We are going to use that property to make a sisal fibre skin that can be
used to add texture and dimension to your work.
It is easy to stitch through and easy to manipulate.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">To
begin you will need a non-porous surface to work on. I used freezer paper, and cling wrap but a Teflon sheet or
plastic sheet would work. You will need watered down acrylic medium (consistency
of milk), a brush that you use with acrylic medium, and a piece of sisal rope.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">You
need to separate the strands of sisal rope and keep separating them until all
you have are fibres. My rope consisted
of three large strands which broke down into smaller strands, which then broke
down into fibres. Start with a piece that is 4’ to 5’ in length. It is easier to
unravel smaller pieces than larger ones.
You can always cut more. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Brush
a layer of the diluted medium on the freezer paper and begin laying down the
fibres (though the fibres are so thin, it also works with just a layer of
medium on the top of the fibres - that is necessary if you are using cling film
because the medium just beads up on the film). When the fibres are in place,
put more medium on top of the fibres to hold them in place. Let everything dry and then peel the sisal
off the backing. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">In

paper strips can add a lot of texture to your piece. In fact, you can create an entirely new piece
of paper from scrap strips of paper that will provide an interesting background
for your work. We all have offcuts of paper from trimming things down to
size. If you’re like me, it’s hard to
throw beautiful and even not so beautiful paper away because you never know
when that piece may be just the one you need. Well, now the time has come.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">If you don’t

for this purpose and cut up just for weaving. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Here is a

delicate paper, you cut the paper into thin strips 1cm to 1” and roll in
between your fingers to get the twist.
When you get close the end of one strip (about an inch from the end) overlap

Lesson 2<h3 style="text-align: left;"> Paint</h3><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://youtu.be/U6aYdvgz4vc" target="_blank">Lesson 2 Presentation video</a></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">One of the
first things to explore is stitching into a painted background. At this point,
we are still dealing with a single sheet of paper. <o:p></o:p></span></span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Speaking of
paper, when you begin to paint or colour your paper, you want to have a
relatively sturdy paper to work with. I
typically use at least a 140</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">lb</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"> or 300 gsm watercolour paper. I have worked with 90lb</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"> or 190 gsm but you
need to take some precautions when using wet media to keep your paper from
buckling when drying (tape it to a flat surface) I’ve included a link to a guide to looking at
paper weights – it can be very confusing to determine the weight and thickness
of paper when you use the lb</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"> measurement. The gsm is a much more reliable measurement
for paper weight and sturdiness. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Everything You Need to Know.</span></a></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">My first
foray began with circles. I have a
fascination with circles – always have.
They have appeared in my stitching in the past and will probably
continue to appear in the future. They
have appeared in my journals and in my collage work. No surprise then when it seemed natural to
use them as a beginning point in a painted background. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I began by
using watercolour to paint circles in two colours on 5.5” x 7.5” pieces of
watercolour paper that I had torn down from a larger sheet. They were leftover pieces from strips I
hadn’t used in a book project. I painted 2, 3, and 4 circles randomly on the
page and then decided how I was going to stitch on them. There was no preplanning, just circles placed
randomly using colours that I liked. I
used a spool of button thread to trace my circle and #12 perle cotton to stitch
with. I decided my circles would be a
solid colour and that I would connect circles of the same colour. I would keep everything in straight lines
(because it was easy, because lines and circles appealed to me, and because it
came to me that I could weave where threads crossed).<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Eventually,
I attempted a less structured form of watercolour and stitch, but I found I
liked Alicia Godwin’s stitching style more than mine. I was keeping to hard edges, and she followed
the soft edges of her watercolours which gave her work a more organic look that
I think looks better.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Water colour
led to acrylic paint – I really enjoy this medium. I don’t paint anything specific, just splash
colour on the page and when dry, stitch into it in any way I wish. (Which led to
holes but that’s another topic) </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Acrylic
paints and inks can also be used for mono printing. <span class="MsoHyperlink"><span color="windowtext"> If you have used a Gelli plate you know what I
mean. Gelli plate printing is a lot of
fun but can be an entire course on its own.
I’ve included a link to some videos on Gelli plate printing for those
who would like to see what it’s like for future experimentation. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POR19Z7ayAY" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The Basics: What

effects is to use acrylic paint and stencils.
The stencils can be purchased or made.
Creating your own designs gives you complete creative control. –
Cover a piece of paper (both sides) in packing tape. This will make it moisture resistance so you
can reuse it. Cut out a shape from the paper.
If you can, keep the shape you’ve cut. This will be a mask. The paper with the hole is the stencil. You can apply acrylic paint over the stencil
(lightly daub paint using a stubby brush or a sponge) making sure the paint is
not too runny or it will go under the edges of the stencil. If you daub paint over the mask (the shape
you cut out) you will get the silhouette of the shape. This can be an interesting effect for foliage
shapes. You can get positive and
negative spaces.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span color="windowtext" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">If you need to get more mileage out
of your acrylic paints, these videos on acrylic mediums and gels are excellent.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb9hzBYsXdg&t=439s" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">2015 Topic 15: Acrylic Mediums {on the paperArtsy Blog} - YouTube</span></a><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtT3fHdbDsc&t=755s"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">2015 Topic 15: Acrylic Gels {on the PaperArtsy Blog} - YouTube</span></a><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span color="windowtext" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">If you like
working with inks, either alcohol or acrylic, they can be a great way to colour a
surface in preparation for stitching.
With alcohol inks, you want to have a surface that isn’t immediately
absorbent so that you have time to move the colour around. Yupo paper is a perfect example. It is a polypropylene based sheet, 100%
recyclable that comes in white or translucent. Any art store will carry it. It will accept ink and should be sealed with Krylon Kamar Varnish
(several light coats) before stitching if you are planning anything more than a practice piece. I’ve watched
artists do incredible things but I have to admit, my experiments are just that
– experiments. I haven’t really created
anything I’ve really loved even though I’ve had a lot of fun doing it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVONbxY5ehM&list=PLt4xj9Y-cJy_RyHl4Q6dJYXrxR2A4fp3X&index=4" target="_blank">Alcohol Ink Tutorial For Beginners - YouTube</a>

in a different form as well. If you’ve

to use them on paper. You don’t need
fabric medium or aloe vera gel, you just need water and the ink will be set

Lesson 1<h3 style="text-align: left;"></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Overview</span></span></h3><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The
difficulty for me in organizing this course, was not what I wanted to share
with you, but how to edit what I wanted to share.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have been exploring and experimenting with
my two loves, paper and stitch for a while now, trying to find what appeals
most to me, where my creative bent lies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I’m coming to think I have a rather split personality in that regard.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I’m
attracted to very precise stitching on paper, geometric and linear as well as a
very random and almost raw or organic stitching. I find white on white appealing
and Zen-like while appreciating the shock value of a single vivid colour on
white.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is beauty and soul in a
limited, muted colour palette.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Manipulation
of paper can add dimension as well as texture to a stitched piece giving
complexity versus simplicity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Adding
metal opens up new areas to explore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There are no boundaries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am
only now beginning to narrow down some of the elements that strongly appeal to
me.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">What I am
hoping to do in this six week class <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>is
show you some of the paths I’ve travelled; expose you to techniques I’ve come
across in my journey (and wherever possible provide you with references and
video links to those techniques) and show you some of the work of the artists
who’ve inspired me.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Not every
technique will be of interest to every person and not every style will
appeal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m hoping that you will take
what appeals and follow that path.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every
creative journey is unique and meanders in its own way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s my hope that over the next six lessons you
will discover some interesting paper/textile artists and add to your own repertoire
of skills.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Lesson 1</span></span></h3><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://youtu.be/97CTEc8aOfI" target="_blank">Lesson 1 Presentation Video</a></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><a href="https://youtu.be/oqVBItuqbtU" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">My Samples</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">You can look

is not forgiving – when you make a hole to stitch through, it’s permanent –
there is no unpicking your work. The
only thing you can do it live with it or cover it up with more paper.<o:p></o:p></span></span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">·<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The

you have thick paper or a lot of layers of paper, it is hard to be spontaneous
with your stitches because the holes for stitching usually need to be
pre-punched for sewing<o:p></o:p></span></span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">·<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">When

you would set up your stitching holes.
Diamond 1 would be stitched in #1 holes, diamond 2 in #2 holes, diamond
3 in #3 holes and diamond 4 is in two parts. It starts open on the top row and crosses
over at the center row and crosses back to the bottom row making a small
diamond in the centre. The remainder of
the holes simply go from the top of one side to the bottom of the opposite side. The video gives a complete demonstration. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiwLQdZnGNs&list=PLt4xj9Y-cJy_RyHl4Q6dJYXrxR2A4fp3X&index=6&t=168s" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">Simple Geometric Stitching on Cards - YouTube</span></a></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p></p>CAWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00990706436744484638noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434267878842710964.post-4997714537058738702021-12-09T06:48:00.000-08:002021-12-09T06:48:41.987-08:00Mathematical (Curve) Stitching Lesson 6<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> Cards Designs</span></h3><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://youtu.be/Ia3yr-KctsU" target="_blank">Lesson 6 Presentation Video</a></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">This is the

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Of the
previous designs we’ve looked at, a few of them lend themselves to cut out
stitching.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Any stitching that is secured
around the perimeter of the shape will work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Here is an example of an accordion book that I put together that uses a
circle cutout as its main motif.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
circles line up exactly so that when the pages are folded, the stitching can be
seen as though through a tunnel. </span><o:p></o:p></span><img border="0" data-original-height="380" data-original-width="532" height="229" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWTJCe8UqGF448-oEyJPucRSeJczbmWYA9YU1xAhTnFyPwXkxczUCzZJi2aKz8Pi2PymT2g-9Z4cj9fJF7cWuirMEr96jps7-tYlyq8ZFdRuY2TXJSLsTVKtPytVsAuk-jx9ULTZ-m4A/w320-h229/accordion+closed.jpg" width="320" /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgop5dAV9rIQRSfm-Gdpt2cOexKrTwYiHXwCEHNQixPpQNKMhg-s4G-3zTFLesnqmdOLeDVMy4ENdd1z9IQdgyOmv-RbMqGDl0GXLLtijC_C-KgwSONNekM3aKoWA9vW9-zAAZCZsyglA/s833/accordion+open.jpg" style="clear: left; display: inline; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="371" data-original-width="833" height="249" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgop5dAV9rIQRSfm-Gdpt2cOexKrTwYiHXwCEHNQixPpQNKMhg-s4G-3zTFLesnqmdOLeDVMy4ENdd1z9IQdgyOmv-RbMqGDl0GXLLtijC_C-KgwSONNekM3aKoWA9vW9-zAAZCZsyglA/w557-h249/accordion+open.jpg" width="557" /></a><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The
stitching for the epicycloids would also work for this cut out style since the

the points where the square touches the circle as stitching points. </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxuEp7hVxPApWersoMbf1VWrhS5nLaJd4rIoxopV1rM2u9OUBNLd8IO_ktCB2VfxRxO0_Bgx0BuN0JYLLN35eWRHsnQH5zLx4Rhgu2pQb50gA0NCQROjVhndXoE2EalQMN4-Bjcnz1ig/s173/opposite+parab.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="173" data-original-width="172" height="173" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxuEp7hVxPApWersoMbf1VWrhS5nLaJd4rIoxopV1rM2u9OUBNLd8IO_ktCB2VfxRxO0_Bgx0BuN0JYLLN35eWRHsnQH5zLx4Rhgu2pQb50gA0NCQROjVhndXoE2EalQMN4-Bjcnz1ig/s0/opposite+parab.png" width="172" /> </a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9y0M9Kgr0r0sVPb1d7KvuIaFHvSBroa6_tH_xPpO_YEyeOvbBsMnq8t3RLW8mRd_cerTmROQ4I1xaJPfZlfES6NA-gm4di7c4mUQR2LRW1Hl2XEjSvvIH8Ih-J5X5IHVKtrZkVXBDSg/s171/4+corner+parab.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="171" data-original-width="171" height="171" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9y0M9Kgr0r0sVPb1d7KvuIaFHvSBroa6_tH_xPpO_YEyeOvbBsMnq8t3RLW8mRd_cerTmROQ4I1xaJPfZlfES6NA-gm4di7c4mUQR2LRW1Hl2XEjSvvIH8Ih-J5X5IHVKtrZkVXBDSg/s0/4+corner+parab.png" width="171" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxuEp7hVxPApWersoMbf1VWrhS5nLaJd4rIoxopV1rM2u9OUBNLd8IO_ktCB2VfxRxO0_Bgx0BuN0JYLLN35eWRHsnQH5zLx4Rhgu2pQb50gA0NCQROjVhndXoE2EalQMN4-Bjcnz1ig/s173/opposite+parab.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiijD-ETey3Ah710ts3Ywy9s5KZnEBi5SFtD6jNDSvECQvy1Bexn92omMjvMkCa4BnDo8u_xjmBc3s8Nu0Rwc2641eJsAIodUtYi3vwJn4XroBukCL07YJBpHhdehICkeEhJKiiL6-DfA/s219/circle+square+back.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiijD-ETey3Ah710ts3Ywy9s5KZnEBi5SFtD6jNDSvECQvy1Bexn92omMjvMkCa4BnDo8u_xjmBc3s8Nu0Rwc2641eJsAIodUtYi3vwJn4XroBukCL07YJBpHhdehICkeEhJKiiL6-DfA/s219/circle+square+back.png" style="clear: left; display: inline; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="218" data-original-width="219" height="218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiijD-ETey3Ah710ts3Ywy9s5KZnEBi5SFtD6jNDSvECQvy1Bexn92omMjvMkCa4BnDo8u_xjmBc3s8Nu0Rwc2641eJsAIodUtYi3vwJn4XroBukCL07YJBpHhdehICkeEhJKiiL6-DfA/s0/circle+square+back.png" width="219" /> </a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYMjy22TZEhbPQqA5dyC5HhF7thal9DSwxHJkvpK4JqX30WaBa2Yf8VGcrBTFNXTX4socxtj_NRL_xQA57TDc9hEcMhqO1SOWoQi08usiAJ94N7v3hCYrQn2Rdb9PNjz1uIXmnTzahcQ/s218/circle+square+front.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="217" data-original-width="218" height="217" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYMjy22TZEhbPQqA5dyC5HhF7thal9DSwxHJkvpK4JqX30WaBa2Yf8VGcrBTFNXTX4socxtj_NRL_xQA57TDc9hEcMhqO1SOWoQi08usiAJ94N7v3hCYrQn2Rdb9PNjz1uIXmnTzahcQ/s0/circle+square+front.png" width="218" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiijD-ETey3Ah710ts3Ywy9s5KZnEBi5SFtD6jNDSvECQvy1Bexn92omMjvMkCa4BnDo8u_xjmBc3s8Nu0Rwc2641eJsAIodUtYi3vwJn4XroBukCL07YJBpHhdehICkeEhJKiiL6-DfA/s219/circle+square+back.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></div><br /><br /></div></div><div><span>

Stitching makes excellent designs for cards.
There are plenty of designs on the internet for cards for all occasions
that make use of the basic elements of curve stitching. Since curve stitching adapts so well to card
stock, it is a natural for card making. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Erica
Fortgen and Joke De Vette are two authors who have written many books with
patterns that use curve stitching designs.
We will be taking a look at some Christmas card designs in the next
class.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Because we
are working on paper, these designs are easily mounted in frames for

The first video is by Peter Baumgartner, a German bookbinder. There is no audio, but his actions are very clear, and he provides a template at his website (look below the video for the template). I simply attached my covers at the side instead of at the top. I used the second video for that inspiration.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="http://www.papierdesign.de/bookbinding/binding-books/waterfall-flipbook" target="_blank">Waterfall Flipbook Directions</a> Peter Baumgartner (notice he doesn't cover his book board covers with decorative papers before putting his book together.

(i didn't want the seam - if I didn't have long enough paper - to catch) I didn't put a pull tab but made the back section longer and put in an eyelet with a ribbon pull.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Alternative Methods of Display</span></span></h3><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Since your patterns are done from the back, you can even think about stitching on a small, stretched canvas. Plan you work out on graph paper, determine your colour changes, tape your pattern to the back of your canvas to pierce your hole and then use your pattern as your stitching guide. The canvas will hold the tension for the stitches. You can use a thicker thread to make your design show up against the canvas.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Just remember that you need to balance the thickness of the thread, the complexity of the design and the size/spacing of the design for maximum effect. If your thread is too thick and your holes are too close together in a complex but too small design, you won't be able to appreciate the delicacy of the work you have created. Whereas, enlarging your design and increasing the spacing of your holes might show the thicker thread to advantage.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Depending upon the size of your designs, you can frame them. There are a number of items made to house 4" x 6" photos and small, square photos that could be used to display designs of a comparable size. The small jewellery box that I showed as a sample was one such item. Shadow box frames are another possibility. It is also possible to purchase 2mm felt and that would have enough body to hold the thread tension of a design.

74 but you don’t have a 74.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">74 is 72 +2

above, but instead of stitching to the number’s double you are stitching to its
triple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Using your pattern marked with

The number 80 in the upper left corner of the box refers to the number of dots around the circle. You can change that number up to 100. Change the S value to show what the iris looks like as the segments connect to different nodes in the circle. Change the M value to make a Cardioid (M=2), Nephroid (M=3), Epicycloid of Cremona (M=4) and so on. You'll be able to make several of the images you saw in the video but at your own pace. </span></span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p>FYI</o:p></span></h3><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p><a href="http://justinaoffiberlab.blogspot.com/2014/01/a-geometric-love-story-how-to-draw.html" target="_blank"> A Geometric "Love" Story - How to draw hearts with circles</a> blog entry with tutorial for heart (string art instructions) that can be adapted using techniques we've learned for stitching a Valentine's Day Card.</o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p><a href="http://www.mathematische-basteleien.de/heart.htm" target="_blank">Heart Curves</a> The math behind heart curves</o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgta_WtokMEFm0YmeI850wbwj_jhCcyoyvqAq9xVGAyQr6FgWEvlQAzNzIvWaB1XGVXZzcHdYlAdIIyimMibiSjmt-SKoZLaqOaLOhEPtXogPcAyq9XWxbjkt3EgKH_nkZxqxhcroqfvg/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="389" data-original-width="600" height="207" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgta_WtokMEFm0YmeI850wbwj_jhCcyoyvqAq9xVGAyQr6FgWEvlQAzNzIvWaB1XGVXZzcHdYlAdIIyimMibiSjmt-SKoZLaqOaLOhEPtXogPcAyq9XWxbjkt3EgKH_nkZxqxhcroqfvg/" width="320" /></a></span></div><p></p><br /><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Designs Involving

clockwise direction and number the inner circle in a counter clockwise
direction. As in the previous example, from the inner circle stitch 1 to 1, 2
to 2 etc. You will go around the inner circle twice just as you did in the
previous example. You will end up with a
completely different result even though you started with the same pattern.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhizILZYz4OLUo5KQt1SdsTAwnAKEKD3SFj9vK_ulJ8qttwEevvK9T9TwLYMS-z8n1fmh_2YGUkOSgnQxK_qLRL6nEqq75t1J1cJiNPWiLIR6uy8HjoUaxbLnNP80xaTeXd6wHM_outEw/s429/stitched+counter+clock+concentric.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="429" data-original-width="429" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhizILZYz4OLUo5KQt1SdsTAwnAKEKD3SFj9vK_ulJ8qttwEevvK9T9TwLYMS-z8n1fmh_2YGUkOSgnQxK_qLRL6nEqq75t1J1cJiNPWiLIR6uy8HjoUaxbLnNP80xaTeXd6wHM_outEw/w200-h200/stitched+counter+clock+concentric.png" width="200" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">72/36 concentric circles<o:p></o:p></span></p>
