My next jean project is kids jeans and boy is it detailed! Some days I think I’m out of my mind. 🤓

Who would like some hand painted jeans for fall?

A little paint, a little personality, and a whole lot of fall vibes. ✨ Wear them, twirl in them, make everyone ask, “Where’d you get those?” 😉

Only 1 available!

I've starting painting jeans! I am working on getting them in my Etsy store. These are super fun to paint and I always get compliments on the ones I wear!

Pictured here are size 10-stretch and can be found in the link below! https://www.etsy.com/shop/SurvivorChicClothing

I just sent this Kinusaiga artwork to the Old English Sheepdog Club of America National Specialty. Kinusaiga is a a no-sew Japanese art form from the 1980s. It involves cutting your design into foam board then tucking in fabric to create your design. I recently learned it and love it! This piece took over 8 hours to create! Finished size, 9x9".

This is the completed tote bag with my student's artwork. The pocket image is the inside of the bag.

4 times a year we have an Art Walk where raffle prizes are given. We are donating this piece as one of the prizes.

Tomorrow is my second fabric painting class and I am super excited. On another note... ;-)

Recently I learned a Japanese technique call Kinusaiga. Kinusiaga (a “no-sew” method where fabric is tucked into grooves of a foam board to create stained glass-like pictures). Often called a “quilt without thread” or fabric painting. Artists carve intricate designs into foam or wood and tuck colorful fabric scraps into the grooves to create vivid mosaic pictures without sewing.

"Pumpkin Patch" is my first attempt at this technique and I absolutely love it!! This piece is 8x8" framed.

Today was the first time I have instructed a fabric painting class. The photos below are the fabulous creations of some of the students. Not all had experience with acrylic paint and I am so happy they just went for it! I am going to sew/attach some of these to a canvas bag and it will be raffled off as a prize at our next Art Walk. I thoroughly enjoyed teaching!

I recently finished 2 collages. They are both made using a Gelli Plate. A Gelli Plate (I LOVE this process) is a flexible surface artists use to create monoprints by hand. The process relies on rolling paint onto the squishy surface and using stencils or everyday objects to create textures before transferring it onto paper or fabric.

SOLD-"Let The Music Take You Away"~The paper was then torn and glued to crate her dress and background. The violin strings are sewing thread glutted in place. A variety of yarns are braided and twisted to create the hair.

"Girly Girl"~The image was hand drawn from a reference photos and the papers were torn to create the textures and the 3 dimensionality of the dog. I added a turquoise flower to finish and balance the green through out the piece.

Both pieces are 8x8" framed and available in my Etsy store. https://www.etsy.com/shop/stashadesigns

P.S. I hate photographing through glass!

It’s time to say goodbye to Three Little Fishes.

I’ve been working with a Gelli Plate to create monoprints. I’ve come up with pages and pages of colored papers to use for collages. This piece contains several different hand colored papers. Each scale on each fish is a different piece of paper hand placed. The background is rice paper glued down with gold and blue colored sand on top.

It just sold and is a Father’s Day gift for my new clients hubby! How fun is that?!?!
