Today, I took the scarab applique I cut out a few days ago and sewed it onto a scrap of denim. I was going to sew it on a narrow bit of muslin, but I decided that I wanted it on a large enough piece of fabric that I could use it as part of […]

More Twine
Today was another process day. I started a crochet hat for my mom. I also spent more time learning the ins and outs of Twine. My goal is to post a simple Twine story before November is up. The trick is figuring out what my Twine story would be about.
Thinking about process
One thing I’ve been finding interesting about #CreateNovember is that even though my favorite thing about the creative process is the “process” part, I’ve been focused on finished items.

Day 10 Jelly

Starting week 2
I continued to work on the scarab linoleum block and did a test print on fabric.

Jellies, revisited
For day 1, I did an eraser stamp of a jellyfish. One of the reasons I do stamp drawings on tracing paper even if no tracing is involved is that it’s easy to reuse a drawing for another stamp. When I finished the other jelly stamp, I realized that the same drawing would work for […]
