we used fabric that they had been practicing their tye dying on ...they ripped and then glue sticked to stiffened calico with some some random sewing.
i was really happy with how they turned out.......and i think they really enjoyed it...
these are my two class ones...
and heres a few photos of the students work.........
front....i showed them how to make fabric beads for the ribbon .....
back....
small a3 cover wip, believe it or not this was black dye but it came out this beautiful indigo color. i intend to free motion over it when i can find my foot :(
this was done with rubber bands....
and this with pebbles....

Hi Jen, these look fantastic, I've never tried the tie-dye b4, but it sure looks fun, & how interesting that you would use pebbles to get such an awesome effect :) I'm not going to Paperific, a bit too far for me, but have fun there, hopefully one of these days we'll actually meet LOL :)
These look great, love the rubberbands effect. Enjoyed the squares collage below, too. I've been meaning to look to my squares books for inspiration but i think time is running out!
Stunning colours, great textures, I love this kind of work! Mx
