Inspired by Lynn Krawczyk’s new book, Intentional Printing: Simple Techniques for Inspired Art Fabric, I used some of my mono-printed and stamped fabric to create Petite Stacked Collages, from her book.
And a give away! Leave a comment and I'll choose a random winner for a copy of Lynn Krawczyk's book. (Sorry, USA only.)
I created some foam stamps to use on gelli printed fabric!
I cut up some felt, to create the backing for small cloth collages. I had some cute, very inexpensive notebooks, and created these little collages for the covers. (Also a Lynn Krawczyk’s idea, in the recent Quilting Arts magazine.)
I free motioned stitched, using the design on the cover of the notebooks for inspiration.
