A fiber artist friend of mine, Sandra Golbert gave me a stack of Cloth Paper Scissors magazines. I can’t wait to flip through the pages for piles of inspiration. I am on the Cloth paper scissors mailing list and it is one of the few bulk emails that I read. They are so generous with tutorials, information and ebooks.
But before a look for more inspiration, I am doing some gelatin printing. Today I used the Daniel Smith Water Soluble block printing inks. The weather is perfect for them.
I also tried something new. I taped off the edge of my papers with masking tape. I did this to create a clean edge and a finished product. I had some resistance to trying this but it really helps create a professional looking finished print. You know I like to play and not worry about the product.
