Cloth Paper Scissors, November/December 2017 Digital Edition

Description

There is no better way to let friends and family know how much you care than to create something special for them for the holidays. In our November/December 2017 issue you’ll find plenty of ideas, techniques, and inspiration for gift giving.

Blair Stocker’s hand-stitched paintbrush roll-up is the perfect gift for any artist on your list. She incorporates much-loved textiles and clothing, and uses boro stitching to create a one-of-a-kind piece. Doreen Kassel’s dimensional polymer clay techniques will have you creating beautiful ornaments for everyone on your list. Annie O’Brien Gonzales takes you step-by-step through the process of making a painted and collaged holiday triptych that will look great in any room. And Julie Fei-Fan Balzer shows why an electronic die cutter is a mixed-media artist’s best friend.
