Welcome!

Thank you for visiting artful embellishments. This is the third year for this blog and I am so happy to keep publishing. I started in 2011 and began with a quilt of the week, this lead to the leaf of the week for my newly designed paper tree that is located on the wall of my garage in 2012.......2013 is going to bring a lot of excitement and positive change. As a personal challenge for 2013, I plan on designing a artist trading card each week to be featured on the blog.
With so many interests, there will be quilting, art quilting, leaves (and more leaves), as well as experiments in thermofax screen printing, fabric dying, and tons of DIY recycle projects. I may even enter that altered fashion scene. To a happy and healthy 2013, may we all find happiness in those things we create....thank you for stoping by artful embellishments.

Chance Boutique and Thermofax Screen Printing

Thermofax screen printing is so much fun.  I have had a 3M machine for a while, but done make that many screens. I invited over Haley Smith, owner of Chance Boutique.  She had brought over her own images that she created on illustrator.  The picture above is her peeling her first screen.

To the right, Haley is just finishing using one of her own screens.

 The images to the right and below are her designs. I cannot wait to see them on pillows, bags, t-shirts and whatever else she chooses to put them on!
