Okay, I have added some pics to my page that I painted using neopaque and setacolor paints, and then salted. I will add more pics tomorrow, with in process pieces. I am finding that the watered down paints (as opposed to using already thinned dy...
Has anyone here tried the techniques Mickey Lawler demos in her book on painting fabric for quilting? I have been working my way through it, and am surprised at how really difficult it is to get stuff that "looks like that"! Any tips or tricks of ...
I joined the group to be inspired and to learn, mostly I have done small pieces, and none are musically inclined... I will have to get busy! That inspiration thing? Oh yeah! I'm inspired!

I'm also working on a Lutradur Ginko Bowl about 12-14" dia. but it's going very slow.
I need to be unmarried for about a year to get everything finished. LOL. Great husband but I still have to do my shared duties.
Love the talk about the glass etching stuff. Yea, what happened to that stuff? It was probably toxic to all humankind.

- Yes, I used dye-na-flo and lumiere with a sponge brush. a lot of tints and shades of green.
I'm working on a series of deteriorating leaves and leaves with frost on them. I seem to prefer the dying stuff over the fresh new spring things. what does that say about me? Never mind, I don't want to really know.

Free Vintage Paper Doll Pattern
Karen's Whimsey has this free Paper Doll pattern on her website. Clothing for the doll also available. Images are in the public domain.
American Folk Art Doll Pattern
This doll pattern and other folk patterns can be purchased at Cloth Doll Supply. Their description:
HISTORICAL FOLK DOLL #11
The New York Doll
The New York Doll
This 16" doll has made herself quite famous by being chosen to be on the cover of a well-known book of American Folk Dolls, by Wendy Lavitt. She is such a good doll for a cover as she has just about all the best details of this type of doll. Separate fingers, a wonderful and exaggerated face and hair all carefully embroidered, including her remarkable feather-stitched eyebrows, and a costume of just-right simplicity and detail. She has with her the same small cat the doll in the photo has. Silkscreened for embroidery and new antiquing methods included.
Pattern (mini-kit) #PGW725 - $42.00

#503: Flapper Slip-On Evening Dress $16.00 (US dollars)
A typical dropped waist of the Roaring Twenties is created by a yoke over the hips. The tiers of circular flounces form a lovely vision while dancing. The scarf and the tie sash patterns are included. This pattern is quick and easy to make.

HOW TO MAKE LENAPE STYLE MOCCASINS
Shared by Mèssochwen Tëme
The same pattern is used for both feet so you only have to make one pattern. Once you make the pattern you're all set, and you can save it for making more moccasins in the future.
