we decided to have a workshop day for some fun challenges~ one of an accordion book and another of a stretched canvas collage.
as always, everyone did something fun!


this is my accordion book, its of my husband and i. it is not easy at all to pick a theme when you like so many things!

patrice, hard at work on something pretty

cynthia taking a mini break from her fun accordion book~she did some awesome printing on tissue with her printer!

emily talking to lynn about something cool~probably the neat things she keeps finding at yard sales and junk stores! and the things she was doing with corrugated plastic was really neat.

kate, having fun with her cool printed fabric with all sorts of metal images on them

leann is doing something fun with skulls...and hand carved stamps!

it was a fun filled day, there were 17 of us who showed up to have some creative time.

surface design weekend

Earlier this month, several members of Running with Scissors gathered at a local hotel for a weekend of printing fabric.

I did demos on gelatin plate printing, thermofax screen printing and soy wax batik. The image above are the example I brought of fabric that I printed along with some of the supplies I brought to do the demos.

You can see more photos in the group's flickr pool as well as on my blog here - please have a look!
