I've been experimenting with alcohol inks.  I had bought this Canson recycled paper that had a glossy side.  I decided to try the inks on it.  It doesn't work well, you can see on the reverse side the way the inks just got absorbed.  After I finished the page, I thought my Carmen Miranda singing stamp would look good on the yellow, so I stamped it using green ink.

September - December 2018

The Sound of Starbucks

I learned about Chawne Kimber from an article in Scientific American.  She is a mathematician and a quilter.  This is her blog.
Jay Hart did a tutorial on making a handkerchief doll.
Lisa Pay shows how to do the back stab stitch
       I was reading instructions for a doll pattern and at one point this stitch was mentioned.  I thought this was a good video.  She demonstrates its usefulness in making toy animals.
