Painted ipad Bag – Judy Coates Perez • Creative Alchemist

http://www.judycoatesperez.com/painted-ipad-bag

Judy Coates Perez Creative Alchemist. I decided to sew a simple bag from canvas with a piece of thick wool felt sewn into it as a cushioned liner. I had no intentions of doing anything fancy, just a simple temporary bag that was purely utilitarian. This did the job and suited me just fine… for a few days. But the lure of that blank canvas was too much. I pulled out a few printed tea bags. And matte gel medium and glued a few images down. Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window).

Making Felted Pumpkins – Judy Coates Perez • Creative Alchemist

http://www.judycoatesperez.com/making-felted-pumpkins-tutorial

Judy Coates Perez Creative Alchemist. To make felted pumpkins you will need:. Left over yarn, wool works best but other fibers will work too. Orange and green embroidery floss or pearl cotton. You can also make Dia de los Muertos skulls too, by making white felted balls. Cut 2 oval pieces of black felt for eyes, then stitch a nose, mouth and decorative designs like flowers and x’s with colorful embroidery floss. By the way, my favorite source for wool roving is Outback Fibers. October 5, 2011 at 4:07 PM.

Making Black and Bloom all Over – Judy Coates Perez • Creative Alchemist

http://www.judycoatesperez.com/making-black-and-bloom-all-over

Judy Coates Perez Creative Alchemist. Making Black and Bloom all Over. I love getting really focused and tightly rendering a representational image. While painting, but recently I have been trying to get looser and more gestural with my painting, kind of like the direction I take with some of my mixed media work. But pushing it even further. For my latest quilt, which represents my present emotional state of mind, I tried to work more spontaneously without pre-planned imagery. I also used some of my hand...

Judy Coates Perez Creative Alchemist. DIY Pressing Board: portable ironing boards or padded printing boards for thermofax. Over the last couple weeks, I’ve been gathering supplies and preparing fabric for my upcoming classes.

I went to Home Depot and walked down the sheetrock and plywood aisle in search of homasote. I bought 2 pieces and decided to cover one with can...

Judy Coates Perez Creative Alchemist. Making 8 of Cups. 8 of Cups Judy Coates Perez 24″ x 60″. The 8 of Cups came about after getting my heart broken by a guy I was dating. Using acrylic inks and a 2 inch wide brush, I painted over the drawing with large brush strokes of color. The only way to get a photo of the whole thing was to stand on the table, unfortunately there is a large shadow falling across it from the window. Symbolism of the Imagery. Deception, disappointment, dishonor. Moving on and lettin...

http://jeanneairdartfabricandquilts.blogspot.com/2016_03_01_archive.html

Jeanne Aird's Art Fabric and Quilts. Sunday, March 27, 2016. Happy Easter to all my readers. Had some great fun tie dyeing eggs this morning. Here are more soy-wax, ice-dyed fabrics from the great Dye class I took a couple of weeks ago. Nick and Chase from Dragonfly Dyeworks http:/ www.dragonflydyeworks.com/. Really know their dyes and it was great fun experimenting with the many colors they brought with them. See earlier blog posts for more info. This is a piece of an old linen tablecloth with lace.
