You are brilliant! Creative, fun, spirited, and an awesome free-style sewist. Thank you for your inspiration.
OMG, we’re kindred spirits! Passive aggressive quilts. Sisters from a different mother. 😁
Love this! I love your playfulness, ability to have some fun…Oh Helen, “Where does that evilness come from”. Ha!
Something I learned in high school from my crazy art teacher, when composing a piece, if you are not sure if it's balanced, turn it upside down and whatever isn't right will stick out immediately. I have use that trick my whole life of 74 years in my artwork. It has made it so much easier to get a balanced piece. I believe in paying it forward as you are. I have learned so much from your videos so I hope I can give a little back. Thank you for sharing.
You could also use receipts and napkins. What fun!
I love your sense of humor.
I've been kneading paper to break the fibers and it makes them cloth like. I turned a piece of waxy tissue paper down to a soft fabric.
Really fun and decorative!
Just found you!🎉 I am a craft-aholic 😂 Always looking for a new way to do crafty things! I am an instant fan! ❤
I definitely need to get some vilene. Thanks Helen souch learning. Also need to collect old papers and advertisement.😊😊
1000 years old and rusty as hell. I love it. Great video, thanks!
You are an awesome inspiration.
Very nice!!
Truly cool idea
If you used sheet music of The Beatles songs or even newsprint photos of the group between the interfacing sheets with your painted “beatles” bugs it would be a play on words.
Thanks for sharing your cool method.
Great idea...I actually thought the ticket could be "Ticket to Ride".
What’s the name of this interfacing ? I love your work by the way !
Thank you what a great technique ❤ Julie Tasmania
I love that you decide quite quickly for these pieces. I always spend so long deciding. It’s ridiculous that I do that.
This is so cool, love watching you!
You are hilarious. Just found your channel. I paint as a pastime bibs and other items for our family's babies when born.
It would be cool to use sheet music from The Beatles songs or even newsprint pictures of The Beatles band between the interfacing sheets. Then with your painted “beatle” bugs it would be a play on words/ideas.
Thank for the video. I like the idea and method.
I love your personality and your fantastic creativity 🥰
It always amazes me the types of techniques you come up with and just make it so fun to watch and then get my creative self wanting to go get my carat d'ache out and play - I am trying to see if these will work in a handbag - something different to add to my handbag business. You are a hoot as well - so funny -
Thank you so much!
Another super fun project, thank you!
Amazing!
so cool! Thank you so much for sharing. I have so many ideas swimming through my mind now. I can see using this technique and having so much fun with it!
Thank you for this fun and lovely technic! Such a joy learning from you ❤️
Thank you!
This is really wonderful! Thank you for sharing!!!
Love your sense of humour! Love what you have created too!
Can’t wait to try this. I have been wondering what to paint the beetle designs onto.
I was shocked that you ironed on top of your cutting mat!! I was so impressed with the layer effect. I want to do some of these techniques. Thank you so much for your video.
This is so fascinating! I am always amazed at what I learn from you! You are the best. P.s. I love your humor!!!!
Fabulous inspiring art quilt project can’t wait to try.
Awesome ❤❤❤thank you Helen❤❤❤
Gosh Helen what a fabulous idea, I really like this, thanks so much
Thanks for such a great idea & demo.
Fabulous inspiration. Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you for this awesome tutorial. This is right up my alley❗❗❗🐞
And I thought MY Olfa mat was in bad shape! Clearly, I need to subscribe to this channel as I’m not doing enough already! 😂
Ooo, would also be interesting with some kneaded papers à la momigami
Sew Fun! Thanks for sharing.
thank you for this fun and laughing video!!! it really made me laugh with you!!!!! thanks for all the tips I'm really going to try this. i want to use it to make pencil cases. thanks again!!!!!!!
This is amazing! This is more for an art piece? The paper underneath would get destroyed with washing?
More as a wall hanging.
😂 love the “beetle” joke
I absolutely love this idea which I plan on using in a insect journal. Where did you find the insect patterns? Thank you.
Love your work Helen! Been binge watching all of your clips. Love love love it! So inspirational!
The crayons, i understand they are oil pastels that are water soluble? How is it when dried, does it rub? Thinking if used as an envelope to a journal. Will it stain inside of the bag when travelling?
They are not oil pastel. They are water based. They are like watercolour paint but in a crayon form. Once activated by water, they sink into the fabric or paper and dry. Not sure about the second part of your question.
Thank you for this fun tutorial! Could one use Inktense pencils instead of the Caran d'Ache or Lumiere paint?
Yes. I use a combination in the demonstration. Just be careful with your Inktense and use refunded blunt ends rather than sharp pointy ends of the pencil as it could rip into the interfacing
This is fascinating! Can I use watercolor pencils? I haven't any crayons. Thank you for sharing your skills .God bless.
Yep. Use your pencils in the same manner. Be gentle not to tear the interfacing with pointy pencil tip.
@@helengodden2283 Thank you!
You might want to try inktense pencils or blocks they are supposed to be permanent on fabric. I don't think the Caren D'Ache are permanent.
Permanent is not my goal for this project. This is made of paper and it won’t be washed.
Where can I purchase your metallic paints?
Lumiere paints
helengodden.com/product/lumiere-paints-by-jacquard/
Can this be machine washed
What did you trace the design with?
A black Sharpie marker
Beautiful!
How yummy.
Will you sell your beetle pattern?
