Paper and Fabric are Interchangeable

Paper and Fabric are Interchangeable

Playing along with the SEWN class, I put together a new book to document my musings.

I love the quilty look to this book and I’m eying my neglected quilting books for other pattern ideas.  Maybe a New York Beauty or Lone Star Pattern.  I’ve always wanted to play with those patterns in fabric but never got around to it.  Perhaps paper is the answer.
In my studio, paper and fabric are interchangeable.

I’ve been away from the blog for a little too long.  To get back into the swing of things, here are a few shots of some new hand painted pattern papers i did this week.

These were created with my new favorite art supply, Tombow Brush Pens.  They are water soluble and gorgeous!  I’m not afraid to admit that I ran out and ordered more colors immediately.  I’m not so patiently waiting for my next Amazon delivery.

Playing with color and shapes, I feel like I’m reintroducing myself to my art supplies.  Pushing myself to get past the blank page and just put down marks.  Oh! Hello acrylic paint, inks and watercolors.  So nice to see you again.

I’m letting Mary Ann Moss’s new class carry me away.  I’ve found her classes to be the best way to re-energize my creativity.

Next step… cutting these up and putting them back together… and a re-commitment to this blog.
