translucent collage tutorial

I worked with my class this week to make

translucent sandwiches with bits of yarn, fabric, 

thread and ribbon between waxed paper and 

kleenex.

The results were fun and now comes the 

chance to cut them up for use in cards, 

mixed media work and collage. 

Fringe coloured magazine sheets to make fun confetti.

Sprinkle these over a sheet of waxed paper. Add fabric and other tidbits.

Next place a one ply layer of kleenex over the cut up bits on waxed paper.

Gently cover whole collage with mix of 1/2 water and 1/2 white glue.

Let dry then display!

knit bombing

I never really 'got' the idea of knitting bombing until
I saw this bicycle at our art gallery.  Wow, is that cool!
Makes me want to do some knit bombing on something
at home.... maybe.....my aerial and car door handles!

Yarnbombing, yarnstorming, guerrilla knitting, or graffiti knitting 

is a type of graffiti or street art that employs colorful displays of knitted 

or crocheted cloth rather than paint or chalk. (Wikipedia)

tiny snowmen

In the midst of fall festivities there is always at least one Christmas
bazaar and this was my contribution to the local long term care
facility.  These tiny snowmen are less than three inches tall.  They each
have their own knitted hat and are made from cut up tree branches.

Lots of fun to make.
