Dina Wakley is one of my favorite people. She's smart, talented, hard working, and funny! Recently, she shared a fun and simple technique on Make It Artsy: hand stitching over stamped images. Watch the video for the how-to:
This is a technique that I love and even showcased in my book, Carve Stamp Play:
This is a fun technique and makes for a great travel project! You probably even own all the supplies you need to get started. I hope you'll give it a try!
Finally, in case you've never heard of Make It Artsy, here's the rundown: It's one of the last crafty TV shows around and you can watch it on PBS, online at makeitartsy.com, or purchase DVDs of each season. We just finished filming our 7th season and we're about to film season #8.
Thanks for stopping by!

Two dynamos together. Loved this and love the show! I also love what Dina said about honouring the women of yesteryear, like my grandmother, who used stitching to make things for the home, for home decoration, etc. Thank you for sharing, Some how i missed this show. Loved it. I also loved the show about white space and love your flower stencil. What small flat brush are you using? Thanks so much for all that you offer to the art making community!

I absolutely treasure hand embroidered items and always look for them at places like Good Will or yard sales. But this a whole ‘nother thing. How fun. I will try a few both on fabric (which I have a lot of) and on paper too. Thanks for bringing this to us.
