Cracked Paper Quilts 3: Revealing the Stitched Base and Adding the Cracks

carolwiebe — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 13:00:24 GMT

After the papers are "pieced" (Cracked Paper Quilts 1) and the sandwich is made (Cracked Paper Quilts 2), it is time to reveal the stitched quilt and demonstrate how the cracks are constructed in a Cracked Paper Quilt.

This, however, is only the base quilt. Its surface now begs to have a whole cornucopia of techniques thrown at it, which includes painting with acrylic paints, drawing with pencils, pens and painstiks, stamping (with my own handmade stamps), screen printing, paper applique, crochet, collage, applying molding paste, mediums and dimensional paint, adding inclusions (made from papier mache and paper clay) and whatever I think of next.

this is a slide show video of the making of my mermaid quilt, it was inspired by two conversations on forums one about using green and purple in a quilt and another a few minutes later about mermaid quilts, I sketched a mermaid out that night , even though I do not draw anything , and I think she came out alright :)

Ive been having a problem with this loading all the way , I dont have a clue if anyone eles is or its just my computer but I did get a hint of what to do if this thing isnt playing right , pause it for a few minutes and it will load then play it,

Inspiration: Extreme Studio Makeover

It must be spring, I could feel the urge to clear my home and freshen things up. I tend to be like the birds, I nest in spring. After our cold dark winters, it's time to wipe of the red dust, throw open the shades, and open the doors wide!

I knew it was coming, I would look around my place and it felt like we were living in a college dorm. Papers were scattered everywhere, winter boots, coats and skis still lurked in the hallway needing some TLC. Mind you, I am not a clean freak, but I get to a certain point, where it just feels overwhelming and claustrophobic, so when my hubby left on Monday for a 3 week Grand Canyon trip-can you say jealous-I decided it was time for EXTREME HOUSE and STUDIO MAKEOVER.

The real inspiration came when I received a notice thatInterweave Press-Cloth, Paper Scissor, STUDIO Magazine was having a sale...3 STUDIOS for $20.00. Oooooh la, la...the time spent on the trip out and back to L.A. was filled with hours of drooling, dreaming and sketching in my journal. What I loved about the editions, was that it featured all kinds of studios, from tiny closets, to gorgeous custom two story dream studios.

Our mission? To convert 3 separate working areas into one functional 165 sq ft space for me, my clients and teaching small workshops. Our budget? Re-use, reduce, recycle and spend only where it will enhance space and functionality.

I want to thank the following people for their help. Kathy Beckwith for moral support and the ability to "see space!" Ken Beckwith who came to the rescue putting together the kitchen cart which was designed as a torture device and Terry McShane who rescued me when I realized that 6-ft of drywall really does weigh more than I do!

I will share my budget with you in part two.
