Cloth Paper Scissors, September/October 2017 Digital Edition

Description

We discovered that encaustic was something our readers were very interested in, so we have dedicated the September/October issue of Cloth Paper Scissors to encaustic, with plenty of articles and art to educate and inspire. Julie Snidle’s primer will get you started. She goes over the tools, preparation, and precautions, and helps you set up your studio for encaustic. Talliesen’s technique is perfect for newbies, but also for those who want to hone their skills. Create depth and dimension with stencils with Mary Beth Shaw’s encaustic techniques. And Cathy Nichols shows how to incorporate collage papers, sgraffito, and drawing to create a stunning encaustic piece.

Also in this issue:

• Get a great faux-encaustic look with Sandra Duran Wilson’s technique, using acrylic paints and mediums.
• You’ll want to grab a needle and thread after seeing Brooke Albrecht’s journal pages decorated with folk art-inspired drawings.
• Rediscover shrink plastic with Julie Haymaker Thompson, and make a stunning necklace with shrink-plastic charms.
• And much more!

Check out the results from our Mixed-Media Weaving reader challenge, and challenge yourself to give weaving a try. This inspiring selection has something for every taste.
