Winter Cleaning - Etsy Sale.




I am a big fan of spring cleaning, but with a new office I can't wait until spring to sort through some things the new room takes form. This is good news for you and anyone you feel like gifting some hand made book marks and original abstract paintings to!  (That is if you want to share, I won't tell if you don't.)  There is a new section on my etsy shop just for these items, you can find it here. Items are marked down to 50% in some cases. I love every piece that I've created; they've all shown me my strengths, my changing style, and my stubbornness to keep trying.  These items won't stay in the shop for long, so swing by, take look, and treat yo self!

Happy creating, and happy shopping!

Book Making: Magazine Junk Journal

Image
Book Making: Making a Junk Journal It may be no surprise that I love art journals and junk journals. So I decided to make my own junk journal from scratch, well, from scrap magazine pages. For the main body of the journal, I'm using magazine pages that are glued two together. I then folded the new pages in half and put them into signatures of 4 each. I punched holes into the signatures about an inch apart.  After waxing the embroidery floss, I stitched the signatures together.  For the cover, I was going to use the cover an architecture magazine as it's thicker, but I ended up using two sheets of cut down 12 by 12 inch paper.  I liked the idea of using white paper so that I can properly have my way with the covers.  I can't wait to add gesso and paint and anything else my heart desires to these new pages. Happy creating, and happy paper crafting! For business inquires, contact me at: Kri

Christmas Mini Quilts - Getting the Most From 5 Fat Quarters

Christmas Mini Quilts Getting the Most From 5 Fat Quarters I've had a stack of five Christmas fat quarters for longer than I'd like to admit. Too many ideas filtered through my head until I finally decided on trying to get the most out of the fabric.  Since the pattern isn't specific to the holidays, this can be applied to any set of fabric. I cut all five fat quarters into four inch strips, and then into 4 inch squares, keeping all scraps to the side.  From this I separated them out first into the larger table runner using 36 squares, and arranging them into a rectangle of 4 by 9.  I decided to go with an angled pattern for the layout, but you could also place them randomly.  The finished size is 13 inches by 29 inches. This one fits well on the coffee table and the dining room table. I then layed out four rectangular place mats using 12 squares each.  I used a similar pattern layout as the table runner.  In fact, I keep this part the s

Red, White, and Blue - 4 Years in the Making.

Image
As many quilters can tell you, sometimes, quilts take a long time to come to completion. This red, white, and blue quilt is no different.  This one began in late 2012, after a heart breaking death, which I won't go into on here. I poured over so many star patterns on-line, trying to pick the ones I liked, ones that would be "good enough" for the red, white, and blue quilt I wanted to make. I ended up saving over 60 images of quilt star patterns and began trying to arrange them into a pattern via photoshop and many, many sketches. Nothing I liked worked, which made my determination grow.  Eventually I came to like a few certain stars, and drafted them myself on graph paper.  I enjoy drafting out patterns and blocks this way, as I'm a visual person.  I also did this, so that the measurements were to my liking. Next came finding the fabric which also took a long time. I adore glitter, but did not want any glittered fabrics for thi
