A RECIPE FOR PRINTING - Alabama Chanin | Journal Yesterday, we heard from Heather Wylie about her Bohemian Bop venture, her love of printmaking, and how she got into screen printing t-shirts. Today, Heather shares with us a recipe for screen printing at home, based on her own self-taught experience and by following You Tube videos and a few books on the subject, including Printing by Hand: A Modern Guide to Printing with Handmade Stamps, Stencils and Silk Screens by Lena Corwin, which we wrote about here a few years ago. As Heather mentioned yesterday, printmaking requires many steps and each step demands careful attention in order to get the desired outcome. Anyone can print at home, but it is a lengthy process. Screen Squeegee Screen Filler Drawing Fluid Emulsion Remover 2 Paint Brushes Ink (water-based) Tape Scissors Stencil Fabric Palette Knife The screen is the main tool in screen printing – it houses your design and allows you to transfer ink onto your material. Squeegee Lay your material on a hard, flat surface.
Pate Fimo Achat/Vente Pâte fimo La pâte fimo est une pâte à modeler permettant le modelage d’un peu tout ce que vous voudrez : bijoux, gourmandises décoratives, figurines, etc. En savoir plus ? Baking Soda Clay Ornaments - Mama.Papa.Bubba. My personal rule? All things Christmas wait until December 1st. Well, besides crafting or purchasing the odd little gift here and thereI guess… This year though, I’ve broken my own rule. I’m not sure how it happened, but we were looking for a fun afternoon activity and somehow I ended up whipping up a batch of baking soda clay without giving any thought to the fact that it’s still November. I’ve always been a fan of salt dough ornaments. The dough itself is very easy to make. UPDATE: The recipe link we used for this project no longer exists… Here is a similar baking soda clay recipe. Once the dough was made and was cooling, I collected a few things from around the house to use to create shapes. Next, I gathered some materials to make impressions in the dough. I also got out a rolling pin, some kitchen scissors (for freehand shapes), some straw pieces (for creating holes to tie twine through), and some extra corn starch to prevent the dough from sticking to everything. Aren’t they pretty?

DIY – Paper things pretty L’année dernière, je suis tombée par hasard sur une lampe, je ne sais plus dans quel magasin, dont l’abat jour était construit sur un principe de pliage similaire à celui que je vous montre aujourd’hui. Internet n’ayant, pour une fois, pas su me donner une réponse satisfaisante à mes questions, j’ai passé des semaines à essayer de comprendre comment il fallait s’y prendre pour reproduire la même chose. L’avantage, quand on cherche par soi-même, c’est qu’on ne se contente pas de reproduire ce qu’on a vu : on finit forcément comprendre la technique globale… qui d’ailleurs n’est pas très compliquée. Cette année, je vois fleurir partout des pliages de ce type – jusque chez monoprix où ces boules de papier font partie de la déco de Noël des magasins. J’ai donc pensé que le sujet vous intéresserait peut-être. Aujourd’hui, je vous explique comment reproduire la petite boule en papier imprimé. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

MAKE: DIY Clay Magnets By Melisa of Pie ‘N The Sky One of my favorite things to do in the morning is leave little notes for Elisha, my husband, to read when he wakes up. We’ve started to collect our little love notes and wanted to come up with a creative way to display them. I thought our fridge was the perfect canvas! Here’s a super quick way to dress up that empty space in your kitchen, with fun magnets! SUPPLIES :: clay / paint / self adhesive magnets / brushes 1) Pinch a small piece of clay from your block and use your hands to make a small ball. 2) Follow the instructions for your clay, and bake them for the appropriate time. 3) Paint! 4) Peel the backing on your magnet, so the adhesive is visible. This project didn’t take more than an hour and it was relaxing to be able to paint for fun!
