Past Time BearsHaving become very interested in altered art and mixed media crafting, I wanted to check out how to create my own fabric paper, or paper fabric - guess it's all the same. So, found a couple of "recipes" and tried one out today with this result. Now, after getting a little experience, I have lots of other ideas and it's quite fun. There is no end to what you can come up with, so if you are interested in this sort of thing - give it a try. This piece has a few wrinkles in it, but those can be worked out when you use it.
TeenytinyteddybearsSue Ann, that looks very interesting. I have made paper before and that was fun. But paper fabric? Found this site http://arleebarr.squarespace.com/design … paper.html Looks good. I want to play. I don't know if we are even talking about the same end product here. But I used to make a mush in a blender, and use that as a base. Then add layers of interesting things. I had a few frames with screen fabric on them so you could make them to different sizes. And Wrinkles make things interesting don't you thing????? :dance: :dance:
Past Time BearsYes, Carolynn, the link you gave is one of the places that had a recipe. I used this one, however: http://www.squidoo.com/fanniefabricpaper The artist - Fannie Narte - lives about 25 miles from me and her mixed media work is wonderful. www.fannienarte.com
TeenytinyteddybearsWow, now got my brain going. Pity I have so many other things on the go. But please post some of the things you make. Would love to see. My Mom is a keen quilter and I have started again. Have a wall hanging in the process (long process) but wants to turn mixed media. SO I think the next project will have to be. This one I want to be able to wash cause it is going in the kitchen.
Matilda Huggington-beareNow I for one would love to see what the both of you have been upto with this mixed media.
I love the idea of fabric paper. So any updates ladies?

Waggle BearsThat's on my list to-do-one-of-these-days. Several years ago I bought some books and a paper making kit, but it's still unopened.
Matilda Huggington-beareI wrote down all the steps from the tutorial Marlys and was pleasantly surprised to find I have everything that is needed. It all now sits on my work table ready to be played with when I return from the gym.
I really love this idea. It has so many possiblities. :dance: :dance:
