I had a great day yesterday in Rock Hill, South Carolina with the warm and welcoming York County Quilters showing them some surface design techniques.
They tried out Caran D'Ache watersoluable wax pastels, Angelina, Crystallina (crimped cut Angelina) and Textiva (Angelina film), Lumiere and Dye-na-Flow, Shiva Paintstiks, Tyvek, and Wonder Under (used as a paint transfer material).
The group (Kate Cole, Diane Cranfor, Judy Gabrenas, Jane Godshall, Molly Hunter, Mary Ellen Moegling, Gail Moss, Wynnell Shows, Andrea Todd, Willa Thiele, Barbara Wright, Linda Dellinger) fused, heated, painted, stamped, rubbed, stenciled, melted, wired and beaded up a storm!
Here's a look at the group in action, and some of the stuff they produced:
They were an enthusiastic group, and I'm betting they all ran for their local art supply stores or to their computers to order supplies online when they left the workshop!
Here are the books I took to the workshop to share. All are good books for the creative quilter:
