Our Artist in Residence answers your questions
Q: Debbie wants to know: "What do you do with your gel prints?"
A: I think my favorite uses for gel prints are in mixed media and paper quilting. I have a wide wooden frame that I covered with torn strips of printed paper of all different colors and patterns - it made a beautiful base for more textured stenciling and stamping with metallic accents. To do paper quilting, I use a small grid die that cuts 7/8" squares - I can cut some diagonally and mix and match them to create a quilted pattern on inchie squares.

Feedback From Past Tutorials
Maxine has a tip for the Crochet Hearts tutorial: "To give a little more 'point' to the heart, make 4 double crochet stitches, 1 treble crochet stitch, then 4 double crochet stitches. This gives a wee bit more shape to the heart."
