Telecast Thursday - Exploring Kraft Tex

It's Telecast Thursday and this week I'm exploring some new fabric, er paper, er fabric paper. Yes, I'm looking at Kraft-Tex. This combination of fabric and paper is really more like leather or canvas to me. It is made by C & T Publishing and is available in white, natural, stone or chocolate. I grabbed some white to check it out.

If you haven't yet heard about this product, you'll want to watch the video below or on my Youtube channel to see what it's all about.

I can already think of several ways I can use Kraft-Tex, rather than creating book covers or iPad covers. I think it would be great in a mixed media project where I can colour and distress it. I'm thinking 3D flowers, geometric shapes appliquéd to a fabric background...there are lots of ways to use this innovative product.

Telecast Thursday - Deconstructing Vintage Crochet

Welcome to another Telecast Thursday! Today I'm going to show you what to do with all of those vintage crocheted tablecloths and other items that you've picked up at estate sales or inherited. You have some of those around the house, don't you - or am I the only one with drawers overflowing with beautiful crocheted items?

Watch the video below or on my Youtube channel to see how to deconstruct these items and suggestions for how they can be used.
