Fill the Hole in a Vintage Guatemalan Huipil

May 18, 2020 ShellyStokes

On a trip to Guatemala in February, I purchased a number of vintage hupiles (Guatemalan blouses) from Chichicastenango region. I loved the geometric designs in the weaving and knew they would be perfect for an upholstery project. But… when you repurpose these used garments for a project, you have to Fill the Hole. And that […]

Star Flower: A Paint+Stitch+Bead Adventure

As part of my “timeout” from the business here at Cedar Canyon, I’ve spent a good deal of time on my Star Flower project. It’s the first of my Paint, Stitch & Bead adventures that will be a completed piece of art instead of a learning tool. I created the design using the Silhouette Studio […]

There’s nothing like teaching to set a person’s mind to learning something properly. With my classes at the All Things Silhouette conference coming up, I’ve been doing a lot of playing with a concept I call Kaleido-Designs. I’m having tons of fun with this. When I designed the Kaleidoscope Rubbing Plates, I did the doodles […]

You may remember that I’ve been working on a way to rescue a project with a Very Busy Background.

Today, I’m happy to report that the Sheer Paintstik Overlay really works!   In case […]

April 20, 2017 Jennifer Lutz

Talavera-Flourish-Experiment-FB

Over the past few weeks, I started digging into the treasure trove of Talavera designs on the dishes in my kitchen. The sheer volume of possibilities was a bit daunting, so I picked a single design motif for a Talavera Flourish experiment. A single motif is a great place to begin a design experiment. Click […]

Paintstik Overlay Experiment 1

March 9, 2017 Jennifer Lutz

Paintstik-Overlay-Experiment1-FB

About a month ago, I “tested” a sheer Paintstik overlay on the computer screen to see if it would Tame a Busy Background. This week, I decided to see if a “real” Paintstik overlay worked on real fabric. Painted overlay vs. sheer fabric overlay: Does it really work? Click To Tweet   Because I used […]

Tame a Busy Background with a Sheer Paintstik Overlay

February 9, 2017 Jennifer Lutz

Sheer-Paintstik-Overlay2-FB

As I’ve been debating the fate of my Whole Cloth Collage project, my friends encouraged me to save the background, but find a way to tone it down. Of course! All it needs is an overlay. And for me, that means a Sheer Paintstik Overlay! I could “see” how this would work in my head, […]

With time set aside for experiments with Renegade Stencils during my retreat, I decided it was time for some BYOB.
