Joker's Wild: Shrink-Plastic Collage Pins Linda Milligan has found a fun use for her inkjet printer: She creates jewelry using White Printable Shrink Sheets from Avery. She prints images (in this case magazine cutouts and playing cards) on the plastic sheets, bakes them, and turns them into funky pins. Find out why this clever artist loves shrink sheets! |
Shibori Stitch by Stitch Marie Plakos shares her method of incorporating stitched Shibori into her art cloth to create unique wearable art. Once you have stitched and dyed your fabric, get ready for a surprise when you open up your cloth and see the wonderful patterns you've created.
