Painted ipad Bag – Judy Coates Perez • Creative Alchemist
http://www.judycoatesperez.com/painted-ipad-bag
Judy Coates Perez Creative Alchemist. I decided to sew a simple bag from canvas with a piece of thick wool felt sewn into it as a cushioned liner. I had no intentions of doing anything fancy, just a simple temporary bag that was purely utilitarian. This did the job and suited me just fine… for a few days. But the lure of that blank canvas was too much. I pulled out a few printed tea bags. And matte gel medium and glued a few images down. Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window).

Making Felted Pumpkins – Judy Coates Perez • Creative Alchemist
http://www.judycoatesperez.com/making-felted-pumpkins-tutorial
Judy Coates Perez Creative Alchemist. To make felted pumpkins you will need:. Left over yarn, wool works best but other fibers will work too. Orange and green embroidery floss or pearl cotton. You can also make Dia de los Muertos skulls too, by making white felted balls. Cut 2 oval pieces of black felt for eyes, then stitch a nose, mouth and decorative designs like flowers and x’s with colorful embroidery floss. By the way, my favorite source for wool roving is Outback Fibers. October 5, 2011 at 4:07 PM.

Making Black and Bloom all Over – Judy Coates Perez • Creative Alchemist
http://www.judycoatesperez.com/making-black-and-bloom-all-over
Judy Coates Perez Creative Alchemist. Making Black and Bloom all Over. I love getting really focused and tightly rendering a representational image. While painting, but recently I have been trying to get looser and more gestural with my painting, kind of like the direction I take with some of my mixed media work. But pushing it even further. For my latest quilt, which represents my present emotional state of mind, I tried to work more spontaneously without pre-planned imagery. I also used some of my hand...

Judy Coates Perez Creative Alchemist. DIY Pressing Board: portable ironing boards or padded printing boards for thermofax. Over the last couple weeks, I’ve been gathering supplies and preparing fabric for my upcoming classes. For my Tea and Ephemera class I make faux tea stained fabric for my students to use as a base for their collage and mixed media techniques. I went to Home Depot and walked down the sheetrock and plywood aisle in search of homasote. I bought 2 pieces and decided to cover one with can...

Faced Binding tutorial – Judy Coates Perez • Creative Alchemist
http://www.judycoatesperez.com/how-to-make-a-faced-binding
Judy Coates Perez Creative Alchemist. So, when I make large art quilts, I like to make faced bindings, which creates a very clean finish to the front of a quilt (and you can never get a critical comment from a judge that your binding is not evenly filled either, lol). The first thing you need to do is cut a four inch wide strip of fabric for each side of the quilt that is about 4″ longer than each side. Fold the fabric in half lengthwise and press. Finger press the second binding at a 45 angle. Trim the ...
