Day 9 2013 - Working Woman

New Opportunities

I went to the Swanstitch textiles workshop! :3 Made friends with old ladies and learnt the start of Parchment Craft (or also known as Pergamano ) The craft is very much based around card designs; the art of embossing and the lace-effect on paper with specific tools.

For anyone who has never heard of the craft, please look out of my article! I will be posting it on here when its finished, and hopefully you'll be encouraged to try parchment craft for yourself.

Pergamano


Parchment paper (like tracing paper but thicker) With a design behind the paper, you trace your pattern with a chalk-based paint. Then you add a new dimension by using embossing tools (like shown above)
 
An example of what a finished pergamano design can look like!
 
Again, if you are interested then please look out for my article which I'll be putting on here at the end of the month <3
 
 
Update
 
I've been working my butt off!
 
- Finished my drawings
 
- Started my fabric manipulations I was supposed to do yesterday but couldn't because I had to start all over again on my work
 
- Did 10 collages and doing the other 10 tomorrow (going into UCA super early tomorrow)
 
Advice
 
Never regret a decison you made! Without it, you wouldn't be where you are now. Everything happens for a reason! <3
