Because I believe in repetition… this is the width and length setting for attaching this RAZZLE DAZZLE thread.
I painted cheesecloth awhile back. So I found it (Yay) as well as the pom poms and the fused fabric flowers…
So this stash of cheesecloth was painted, using Lumiere paints. I (of course) added glitter. Some of you asked me about the glitter product I use. I bought mine at the local Bernina store, or you can get it at the Quilt-A-Way, both in Great Falls. However if you search for ‘art glitter’ on the internet, I am sure you can find sources through Amazon or other craft supply outlets. I have not seen it, nor do I think they carry it in our Michaels or JoAnn Fabric stores.
As to the glue, my local quilt stores carry it, too. It’s a top quality glue product, one with a very fine tip, that I love using. All I did was just dab a bit on the pom pom…
Sometimes the paint was heavily applied, and it ‘stuck’ to the plastic sheeting I dried it on. COOL effect eh?!
Found this cool stash of linen-like ribbon. LOVE! (Yes it is!) Oh how I love being a pack rat when you can start uncovering the treasures in the bottles, boxes, and jars!
Yes, I decided to add more! Bathing Beauty Beads! Yes, I start without a foot… use a polyester thread, and a sharp 90/14 needle. You can read more about beading by machine in my post, by clicking here. I’ve posted all my best tips and hints there.
And I am thrilled with the look of the beads. They make my heart sing. Wild Thing! (Go ahead–sing it with me!)
ALL.

interesting technique, to sew beads with the machine. I think I should try it.
Have you seen some of the portraits done with cheesecloth???? Oh. My. Gosh. I'll try look up the magazine and date I saw them in. Fabulous.

"Wild Thing", yes! Luv the beads. I also stash all kinds of things away and it is a joy to rediscover them and begin to play. There is a song we know in Canada called "Something to sing about…" Your blog makes me sing, wildly! LOL
I do love it! I should try your method of beading, I always do it by hand but the machine might speed things up a lot! Thanks for sharing..
