I am a guest on Make It Artsy!

Hi everyone! Last spring I traveled to Cleveland, Ohio to tape three segments for the new Make It Artsy show hosted by Julie Fei Fan Balzer. Here are some behind the scenes photos I took while there. So much prep goes into getting ready to tape each segment both by me and the production staff. Most of the steps I complete at home, but there are always last minute things to do. I really do not get nervous taping the segments, as long as I am prepared. Julie and everyone at KS productions are very helpful in keeping us all on track. Did I mention Julie is a stitch? Yes, she is! The set of Make It Artsy, is so cool. The background is a brick wall which makes for a great back drop. We all also taped a “teaser” of one of our segments. Mine is promoting my Mixed Media Mandalas segment. Here is the clip, and I am such a dork in it, but the technique and project rock. The episodes begin airing on PBS stations tomorrow 9-29-16. My segments are #103, #112, #113. Check your local listings for details. Note sometimes it can be a short while before all the stations air it. You can also watch the show on-line at makeitartsy.com and follow Make It Artsy on fb. I would love to hear what you think!

Designer Craft Connection and Fabric Elements giveaway!

Mini Paper Quilt Kit

I am so happy the day is almost here! Tomorrow designers from the Designer Craft Connection group (DCC), will post their projects from the Fabric Elements blog hop. I sent each of the DCC designer participants a Fabric Elements Mini Paper Quilt kit. My only direction to them, was that they use all of the contents with in the kit. Other than that, they can create whatever they wish. I am so excited to see what each designer has created.

For those not familiar with Fabric Elements, here is a little background. Award winning Fabric Elements™ is a culmination of my experiments, favorite materials, and techniques. It is a collection of my stencils, tissue paper, and fabric designs with pre-packaged fiber goods – such as batting, felt, gauze, Lutradur, and many others. The collection is designed to work together with my techniques and instructions to create endless mixed media and fiber art projects. I love to take the ordinary – like quilt batting and interfacing – and combine them with paint, inks, and other embellishments to elevate them into something extraordinary!
