Resisting the urge to wash dishes!

Fabric transformation!! I love fabric and this is one of the most exciting things that I have done in a long while!!!

I love fabric so much more than I like washing dishes.. so a new use for dish detergent is for me. I love making my own decorated fabric for many purposes. Well when  I heard that you could use dish detergent to mask or create a frisket on fabric, I was sold. This detergent is brushed on and when dry keeps the paint from coloring the fabric. So I wanted to see what I could accomplish… Please I hope you enjoy my video. 

Supplies:
muslin (on hand)
Splash Inks 
Paint Brushes (on hand)
Acrylic stamp squares
Heart stamps from the Rubber Stamp Depot available at AlteredPages
StaZon Ink Pad
thick dishwashing detergent
bowl
water (to rinse)
Iron to press with
airbrush (optional)
Rit dye fixative ( on hand)

Will be updating you with a finished project using this fabric and also many other ideas on using this technique!

Incredible Egg Fun!

I love eggs…I clean the shells out if I am going to use them for baking or scrambling. I love the texture. I decided to create something a little different, a box made from an egg. I had to cut it in half it was fairly easy with a rotary grinder and a cut off wheel. I then used several of the products from AlteredPages including a Mailbox Muse stamp set.

Please let me know what you think of my crazy creation.

Supplies:
Egg Shell
