Hello! It's another DT day for me over at Twisted Sugar Twine! Today, I wanted to share with you a project that was inspired from a classic toy. I am sure that most of you have played with this one time or another - it's the spirograph! Do you remember sticking your pencil in one of the holes of the gear and you let this gear go round and round with your pencil within a bigger circle stencil, while drawing a curved, geometric path. I loved the look of it, and always made me feel so artistic, although I had nothing to do with it. So, I thought that it would be neat to create this pattern using twine. Since there is no way that I can glue down every part of twine in a geometric curved shape, I decided to "sew" this pattern onto the paper. The holes were created using my cutting machine (you can use rhinestone option - on SCAL and MTC - to create holes for you!), but you can always just use a punch or a piercer. Here are the cards that I made! You could even make them into a wall art, too! Here's the instructions: You can pretty much pick a corner and one hole on the opposite side or the adjoining side and start "sewing" like above. Keep following this pattern until complete. It really doesn't matter what holes you choose, it'll work out in the end, and the holes that you choose will determine how big the pattern is, and what the pattern will be. You can get creative and do this on the circle shown below: Changing colors half way will create some interesting effects, or you can even add beads in the twine. Experiment with different shapes, and different patterns. I've shown you the basics, now be creative! Have fun!
How cool is this? Doesn't it remind you of that game spiro-graph? This set, Delicate Doilies, reminds me of that game! I loved it when I was...

Last year I took a wonderful book binding class at the International Printing Museum in Torrance. It was taught by Book Artist Lucia Frias Villarreal . She has a Masters degree in bookmaking, so I feel I learned from the best! She taught us Coptic binding which was developed in Egypt as early as the second century AD. Essentially it is a stitching method where you attach your pages "signatures" to your covers. I have collected several drink coasters from Chili's and thought they would make some great starter covers for my mini books. I had all of these wonderful Vintage images I collected to use for my Summer inspired projects, but didn't end up using all of them. So I printed out my favorites and started stitching away. Traditionally you would use a special waxed string. I ended up using bakers twine which I waxed myself using a tea light! I really loved how they came out. I used some vintage book pages from damaged books for my signatures. {coptic edges} {i love this vintage Barbie image} {inside the signatures you can see the bakers twine} {the pages are from old books, a toy collectors catalog and a family satire from the 70's} I am thinkin of offering this for a class at the Vintage. They are so fun to make, and a bit challenging! -Denise
this is some of my latest work
