This leads me to share with you this brand-new magazine, Down Under Textiles. Edited and published by Deborah Segaert (also the editor and publisher of Down Under Quilts magazine). Back in October, I was fortunate to contribute a few pieces to the first issue of this new magazine and here it is! A new Australian title to hit the market - all about everything textile.
In this first issue, you can read all this:
- Using Shiva paint sticks with Sue Dennis
- Create a scarf with Sam Pope
- Make a silk wall hanging with Cecile Whatman
- Learn a welt felting technique with Gutermann
- Lino print printing with Dijanne Cevaal
- Make silk paper with Erica Spinks
- How to use Lutradur with Dijanne Cevaal
- How to use an embellisher machine with Fiona Hammond
- Artist Trading Card gallery
- Australian fibre artist Felicity Clarke shares her creative journey
- Comments on colour from leading Australian artisans
- How and why a journal can inspire the creative life
- Plus more!
Now, I'm off to investigate the tools needed for lino printing. Maybe I'll have to enrol in Dijanne's online lino printing course, too....
HI Erica, Thanks for visiting my blog - I treasure your comments (XX)! And how exciting about this new magazine - great for the Art quilters appetites. My late Mum did lino printing for many years during the 1960's & 70's and I used to love watching her carve the lino design, stick it to a wooden block and then turn her creations into borders for aprons, tea towels and potholders!! She gave all her implements away long before she ever thought I might be interested!!
