Ok we have minus two seconds to design, develop and execute an Umbrella Prints swatch book fit for a queen.
We have to use what we have...cardboard?...fabric glued over cardboard?....cripes no!....
Wood....Otto's....yes!
"What type of wood is it?"... an old man hobbles over gives it a good smell..."western red cedar". Sorted.
Good enough to build totem poles and canoes with and perfect for us today :)
(if you are interested in seeing other people's creative spaces this week head over to Kootoyoo)
this is really pretty ^__^
ReplyDeleteLooks fab!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I can't believe I haven't thought of wood. I've been using the same sort of thing, but with cardboard and those butterfly pins - with mixed success and they don't last! Yours look divine - nice one!
ReplyDeleteHi Amy - thanks for the comment - my el-cheapo rotary cutter was a bit hard to use at first (it wasn't rotaring!) until I loosened the screw at the side just a bit - now it works a dream and I would never go back to scissors! Nic
ReplyDeleteWow, these look beautiful! I was a screenprinter for years and used to love printing onto wood, bookcloth, glass and other such things. I will have to get back into that soon....
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration
