GYOTAKU TOTE

 GYOTAKU TOTE

This water colour and ink gyotaku print hangs over my bed. I had this fabric made by Spoonflower: Print custom fabric on-demandwww.spoonflower.com 

What a fun way to display your artwork

TOTE BAGS

 Tote bags are a great way to use up fabric that has been sitting for years!

What fun to sew them up, decorate with buttons and bows, fill with goodies or practical items and gift them to someone special.

Remembrance Day Grade Three water colours "In Flanders Fields"

 The Grade Three class did a great job of putting to paper how they saw/heard the poem "In Flanders Fields"

Melted Crayons on Paper and Canvas

 I melted my crayons on a flat paper or canvas, placed in a warm oven. (150 degrees) When soft and runny I removed and encouraged the wax to run by tilting.

I found  white was key in making the pattern come alive. Unfortunately some packages of crayons don't include any white . White Candles melt into a dull yellowy white so didn't make the best substitute.
