I've been trying to play with this include thing in blogger, so that I can have a textile artist list as a blog which is then inserted into my blog seemlessly and means I don't have to buggarise around with the template everytime I want to add a link there. But can I work it out? No.
Damn this modern technology.

Transferring images

So I came up with the brilliant idea the other night of creating a t-shirt for a friend as a b'day pressie. That resulted from me playing around on typogenerator with her name as an input and coming up with some rather cool and funky pictures.
If you've never played with this before, go and do it NOW.

So my brilliant plan was to take two of the best pics and transfer them onto t-shirts and then embellish. But I found only cheap t-shirts already with logo's so I had to transfer onto fabric which I'll then applique on. Okey dokey. no great problemo there.

But here it comes. While back home at xmas I looked into a few transfer methods (eg. Lazertran) and was firmly pushed away by the crafty salespersony person who said " No this Dylon Image Maker paste is much more reliable and hassle free" so I bought that.
whoops.
its terrible. really terrible. The transfer looks awful, it is difficult to remove all of the paper and the transfer itself is unclear, tends to rub off when removing the paper and doesn't stay stuck to the fabric.
And I have 24 hours in which to finish this gift before I have to leave for France, so I'm starting to get rather annoyed. If I find the camera and feel up to facing the disaster I may put in some pics.

Official Reactivation

Yes, well. I do have my other blog where I put all my normal stuff. I also have a team blog and am considering another for something else, but I decided to keep this one going. It may be that I´ll only update here once a month - I don´t know. But this will be my focus on embroidery again so I don´t bore normal people in my normal blog. And even if no one reads it, at least it´ll be a track of my hobby for me.

So welcome back, sassystitcher.
