PaperArtsy project Topic 19 Cute Critters

Hi everyone, Today I’d like to share with you Cute Critters Fabric hanging using my favorite Elena's stamps.

I've always been interested in fabric dolls made from Elena stamps by Lauren hatwell, but I don't know how to make dolls of different sizes from the same stamps. And recently I found out on YouTube how to print on fabric with an inkjet printer. OK I do it, from then on, these dolls are really lovable and I can't stop being addicted.

First of all I prepare A4 full sheet sticker paper for inkjet printer and attached to white cloth as not to be wrinkled. The important thing is to choose a printer that drags paper from the top. I stamped lovely new Christmas Elena stamps ZA49.

The images are stamped on white card , scanned, captured on a PC, sized and printed on a cloth. Printer preset--plain paper, gray scale.   Printing quality--high. After printing on the cloth, beforehand iron a cloth so that the ink on the print dose not bleed.

When I started making, I painted all colors on the paper, scanned, printed and finished, but I was not satisfied with the finished colors it was dull. Then I printed only the black outline and applied Fresco paints directly to the cloth with using Stain Glazing matt, the red patterned fabric was pasted with Mod Podge. I used Fresco paints mostly these colors for these critters. Fresco colors-- Mustard Pickle, Peach Nectar, Chocolate Pudding, Mocha Mousse, Tikka, Buff, Glass Blue, Bougainvillea, Turquoise, Eggplant, French Roast.

I sewed the red wear outline before filling cotton. Then cotton, pressed cotton, adhesive cotton and white cloth were stacked in order and then zigzag sewing machine was applied, I cut the around the doll and attached a string for hang on the top and finished.

This is the finish of Cute Critter, can't stop making them.--ZA49

Making a doll is magical by cutting the shape and adding a little cotton. All of them are small critters of about 13cm, so just putting them in the craft room makes them look fun. It's easy and fun to make stamps. Would you like to make one? 

Thank you so much for visiting.

PaperArtsy blog Topic 14: Inchies & Twinchies

Hi everyone tonight I'd like share with you PaperArtsy blog Topic 14 my project inch cubes and the storage box and you can see PaperArtsy blog here.

I have chosen images to paste on the cubes from a lot of Lynne stamps.

I applied Gesso to each wood cubes and painted by Fresco colours and also painted these inch cards.

I glued six cards on each nine cubes and finished with varnish.

I painted Yellow Submarine Fresco paint on the Smoothy white card then  I embossed by the new Lynne's stamp LPC041 for decoration top of the storage box. The box made by MDF board and painted blue.

It was very fun to play with Inchies and Twinchies, so I made the bookmarks, I collaged the master board using Seth's stamps, book pages and some leftover them, and I made Lynne's images 2-inches circle cards put on them focal point.

Thank you so much for dropping by.

Make a paper doll into a fabric doll--02

Hi everyone, really Japan position is very busy Typhoon area this season also we will have next Typhoon tomorrow.
I made two girls with fabric.

Their faces were printed with my own made and the clothes were patchworked with cloth. 

Their original clothes still do not satisfy the color also the clothes made in the collage are flat and not very interesting.when printed,....so I'm still thinking.
Thank you so much for visiting, see you soon.

Make a paper doll into a fabric doll--01

Hi everyone today I made their faces separate from their bodies with fabric as a first step. By doing so, the deformation of the face was reduced. The color printed on the fabric was light so I will adjust it.

After all, because the neck is thin, it cannot be fixed to the dress well, this girl was united with the dress.

And the dress was made from a fabrics collage rather than the original print.

Next, I will devise more like mixed media. 

Thank you so much for visiting, see you soon!!
