Our Artist in Residence answers your questions
Q: Jane asks: "A friend of mine works at a paint store, and gave me BOXES of discontinued paint chip samples. Do you have some ideas to use a bunch of these?"
A: A Google image search is turning up tons of ideas! Depending on how large the samples are, you can use them for anything from notebook covers to decor items and even beautiful jewelry. They are stampable (try a permanent ink like archival or Stazon). The strips make great bookmarks. Their bold, solid colors are great for die cut pieces, punch art, or paper piecing. Check out this link for more fun ideas!

Feedback From Past Tutorials
Janet has a tip for the Encaustic technique: "You can really only do encaustic work on coated card, but you can then turn it over and iron on the back to transfer to canvas or fabric. It is paler when transferred, so you need to do bright colors on the card first. You can transfer to any fabric but it isn't washable."
