Good Morning Folks Donna-Marie here to share a new technique with you that combines both paper and fiber art. ...Toilet Paper Art . I know I promised a video but here in the northeast we are in our 6th day of a heat wave...ugh!!! I live in New England for a reason...I would rather be cold than hot. Anyway my craft room is our sunroom with all windows...a beautiful place to create indeed until the heat and humidity rear their ugly heads. I could only last a short time in my room so pictures will have to do today. I have lots of photos so grab a comfy spot and enjoy:-) Here is a close up of a completed piece Here is the stamp I used. Once this piece has dried it becomes a piece of fabric...flexible yet sturdy so I was able to include my fiber art and create this... I added beads and embroidery along with some yummy wool fibers for a one of a kind piece...all from toilet paper!!! Let's see how this works... You will need 2ply toilet paper, a foam brush, watered down gel medium (one teaspoon to 1/2 cup of water) make sure the medium is well dissolved, spray bottle of water, a stamp and a brayer. The stamp you choose is important. It can be any variety...on a block, no block, clear, doesn't matter however what does matter is how deeply it is etched. The stamp should have nice deep areas throughout the stamp for maximum benefit. Get your gel mixture ready first choose your stamp and let's go... I chose an all around stamp background pattern this time...mist it heavily with water. Lay your toilet paper down...you can see that I have overlapped the center and also have it hanging of the edge. The overlapped part will not show on the final piece and the edges that hang over become "ruffly" like a lettuce leaf edge which is pretty when colored. I spayed the piece down again after I laid down my paper. Then I go over it with my foam brush loaded with the water/gel mixture. Do not rub "dab" up and down releasing the liquid otherwise you will tear the paper. No worries if it tears slightly with all the layers going down it will be fine. After you have added the water/gel mix run over it with a brayer. Not back and forth...only one direction!! Then continue with the layers in the exact same way: water, paper, mixture, brayer...I used 6 in all. This is what it looks like when all 6 layers are down. Now carefully peel up the entire paper piece off the stamp and flip it over...you will see the beautiful embossed image. Because the image is fully saturated now is the time to color it especially if the medium you are using is water soluble...like Dylusions Inks :-) I sprayed the piece with 4 colors of Dylusions Ink: Fresh Lime, London Blue, Vibrant Turquoise, and After Midnight. The image looks very dark right now because it is saturated but when dry it lightens up quite a bit!! It takes almost 48 hours for this to dry so I can not show you the final project but I have another piece done the same exact way with another stamp... I added some embroidery, beads, and small mini flowers...look at the edges love the unfinished "ruffly" look. I am working on a fabric book or these pieces...stay tuned :-) And here is the piece used in my mixed media piece entered into the eP challenge see it in the frame. I also used the extra pieces I cut off to fit it in the frame as part of the background. I hope this inspires you to be creative and mix your love of the arts no matter which ones you enjoy the most :-) Peace Out

Did you know that handmade paper art can be dimensional? Manipulating certain types of pulp fibers can be used to create textural, sculptural artwork; paper that transcends its familiar, utilitarian existence. Sound interesting? Susan Warner Keene is an&nb
Abstract 3D paper weaving size: 8 x 10 inches. It was created from an original monotype print pulled from a gelatin printing plate in my studio. The original print was coated with an UV archival varnish protectant and then hand torn into strips to create this artwork. The weaving is glued to hand-torn watercolor paper and adhered to a backing. I added a small frayed piece of pink linen as an adornment in the upper right of this piece. This piece is ready for framing or to be displayed as shown. This is not a digital print. It is a one-of-a-kind original, 3D paper weaving. It is an original piece of art. This paper weaving will be packaged and mailed with the utmost care. Thank you for shopping on Etsy in my Gelliprints shop. xo

I recently completed a 30 day online class run by Helen Hiebert called Weaving Through Winter. The class had a very open structure, Helen did a 30 minute video introduction each week on a theme and workshop participants could take the concept and run with it. We posted pictures of what we made and offered comments and suggestions to each other. It was a wonderful daily practice and meditation. If you want to see all 30 of my pieces check out my Instagram posts at @gina_pisello. I will show you my favorites below and tell you a bit about what inspired them. Enjoy! This is one of the last pieces I made in class. I was inspired by weaver Kay Sekimachi and light streaming onto the red paper before sunset. This weaving went through several stages before becoming the piece at the bottom. I tried folding an origami bowl with it, but the shape and size of the weave was wrong for this particular origami piece. I would like to try again with a different weaving pattern. I wove abaca paper strips together then folded it into a Tomoko Fuse spiral. I love the way this turned out. A simple weave around a silhouette. I didn't know what to weave on this day but found inspiration in torn paper torsos I made years ago that sit framed on my desk. This one was hard to weave, but I really like the results. This is a Danish heart basket, commonly made at Christmas time. I used folded paper and wove a love letter with a Japanese paper bag for this simple weaving. There are many more designs for this if you search Pinterest. One week of the course was about weaving shapes. I wanted to do a simple circle and the tension of the weaving caused this to curve nicely off the page. I experimented with hexagonal weaving trying to work out the formula for doing so. Turns out quilters have a way of doing this called triaxial weaving. I liked building this out from the center, but want to try doing it the "right" way sometime soon. The completed hexagon weaving. Another hexagon weaving. I remembered that Claire Van Vliet and Hedi Kyle invented ways to weave books together in the excellent book Woven and Interlocking Book Structures. This one is my favorite with its crossing shapes and locking structures. I created the pages with eco-dyed paper. This was an early weaving from the class. I wanted to explore strips that were angled. I like the optical illusion of it. This is one of the later weavings. I cut warp strips around the leaves on the eco-dyed paper. Then I cut weft strips one at a time to bend around the leaves. I wanted to enhance this central image.
