I don’t know about you, but I go full speed, and then I work as slow as a turtle. Luckily, right now I’m in the fast mode while working on some new projects.

I’ve used this Jacquard Removable Water Based Resist before, but it’s been awhile, and I had an idea that I hadn’t tried before. In this older post I used it with my spinner art. I’m again printing the circles, but instead of with soy wax in this post, I’m using the resist with the thickened…

A year ago my friend Connie gave me her turntable to use for my art. I finally got around to playing with it. I thought it might work like the spinner I played with and even wrote an article in Quilting Arts about this. No, it doesn’t quite work as well because it doesn’t go…
