I'm excited to show you today's project. I played with stamps and fabric, together with embroidery. I used an usual piece of white cotton fabric. It was too white so I dipped it in some tea to age it a bit. The images I have used are from ching chou kuik's collection. They are called Nostalgia and Spring luna from plate #30.
I stamped the images with black fabric ink and then used fabric pens to color here and there. I know it works with promarkers too if you want a neater finish. To add interest to the images I embroidered details with a glittery thread and added some matching beads. Then I just sewed the two pieces right sides facing, a little tunnel for the ribbon on top and voilá - a little bag for jewelry or as a giftbag. If you want a bigger bag you could use four images, kind of like an Andy Warhol piece.
What a great piece you have made Katarina!! You always come up with something innovative and interesting.

What a clever idea. I make jewelry projects all the time and often use bags similar to this as well as clear sheer type bags that I bet I could stamp on. So smart!!
ReplyDeleteSo clever! Great work Katarina
