The new stencil online class I am taking from Dispatch From L.A. is all about experimenting with sewing on stencils and making little books.
I started with painting the backgrounds of the pages with acrylic paints and watercolors. Then I took them outside and spray painted with all of the stencils I have been making. (The background stencil of the four pointed stars is one of my favorites right now.) Then I doodled with thread and added fabric and collage elements.
The sewing machine I am using is new to me, so I have been having fun playing with the different stitches. The next step is to make a cover, sew the signatures together and assemble the whole thing.
Some pages I am not liking at all, but I am forcing myself to just keeping playing with it all and see how it turns out!
Thinking it would be fun to make one about my garden or about Tacoma.
YAY...fun to see some fellow classmates with a finished book! Nicely done-love your colors.
