The Dremel Micro is a new high-tech compact 7,2V Li-Ion cordless multitool from Dremel. This precise and feature-rich multitool
is the best choice when it comes to detailed tasks. With its lightweight, streamlined design this unique tool allows precise work even in
hard-to-reach or low illuminated areas, thanks to its LED on
the front.

The compact yet powerful motor combined with ultra

compact battery cells ensure convenient work when it comes
to intricate cuts, drilling, deburring and etching / carving. It is
also perfect for finishing off detailed work, sanding, polishing,
cleaning and more.

Measuring only 20 cm in length and weighing in at only 250 g,

the small size and lighter overall weight of this new multitool
will particularly appeal to the ladies. The variable speed control
makes it suitable for a whole variety of applications.

We REALLY like:
• The Li-ion battery and docking station charger.
• LED speed indication
• LED battery state indicator

Basecoat her dress with alizarin crimson

Tip - first sketch in your

folds and pleats in the
material with a white pencil
before painting them.

I used peony pink , raspberry ,red violet, cranberry wine - all the
lovely pinks on her dress. Shade in the folds with your shader
for shadow and highlight with white added to your pink.
Again, first sketch in your lace before painting it with your finest
of fine brushes.

First use your very small shader for the lace , here I used my nail
art set to start painting the lace and to dot it. Once I have
painted in all the lace, I shaded the lace under the bench with
soft black for shadow.

Hair - at last!
Basecoat very dark before highlighting lighter with streaks of
colour. On the little boy’s hair I used burnt umber for a base, raw
sienna, marigold and a touch of cadmium yellow.

4 She had red hair (only 2% of the world’s population has

natural red hair, did you know that?) again burnt umber ,
persimmon (ginger colour), marigold for highlights and also
cadmium yellow for streaks of light to get a copper effect.

I added a basket in the foreground.

Grass
I have a very old fan brush, hard and well
used but very much loved, this is what I use
for grass fields and grass in the front and
under the bench.

Use midnight green as a basecoat, again

from dark to light, stipple the grass in with
the beautiful teal colours.

I went back to put flowers
in her hair.

For the basket, I first

painted roses in the basket

are too sophisticated and
this is not what this little
boy had in mind to give the
little girl for valentine’s day.

Veld flowers is exactly what

he would have picked to
give her as a token of his
love..... Simple beauty and
not overdone.

I used the same colours as

which I have used in the
painting just working from
my wet box - bright and
cheerful.

Basecoat the basket with

nidnite green before
painting in the flowers.

Do not arrange the flowers

- just stack them in the

Materials needed:
• ±100 Tila beads
• ±600 11° Rocaille seed beads
• 1 x Three strand clasp
• ± 8 m Nymo
• Beading needle

These materials are sufficient to create a bracelet of

approximately 18 cm.

CRAFTWISE 13
 Cut a comfortable length of beading thread.
String a stop bead. Pick up 4 seed beads and pass through the first seed bead again,
going in the same direction. Pull snugly so that the beads form a picot.

Push the picot back against the stop bead, leaving about a 7 - 9 inch tail.
Pick up a Tila bead by passing needle and thread through one hole. It should be noted
that the Tila beads have one side that is slightly raised - you can either pick up each
Tila bead so that the raised side is on the same side, or you can pick them up in a
random fashion.

Slide the Tila bead down close to the picot you made in the previous step and pick up 4
seed beads. Pass through the first seed bead of the 4 you just picked up, stitching in
the same direction.
Pull snugly to form another picot, and slide the picot down close to the Tila bead.

Continue adding Tila beads and picots until you have a total of 4 Tila beads and 5
picots. Push the Tila beads and the picots as close together as possible.
At this point, the work may flop around a bit. Don't worry about that, we'll strengthen
and stabilize the beads in the next step.

Pass needle through the next two seed beads of the last picot. Pick up a Tila bead.
Pass needle through the seed bead on the outside edge of the next picot. There
should be 1 seed bead nestled between the Tila bead of the first row and the new Tila
bead you just picked up.

Continue to add Tila beads by picking up a Tila bead and then passing your needle
through the next outside edge bead of the next picot.
Add a total of 4 Tila beads.

(Note: the work has been flipped over in this photograph.)

Pick up 2 seed beads and pass through the second hole of the Tila bead that you are
currently exiting.

Pick up 2 seed beads and pass through the seed bead on the inside edge of the picot
between the two Tila beads. Pass needle through the Tila bead and all the remaining
seed beads and Tila beads in that row and pass needle through the next two seed
beads; then up through the hole of the Tila beads and seed beads between Tilas.
Exit through the seed bead at the top of the Tila bead.

14 CRAFTWISE
To add the next picot, make sure you are exiting from the seed bead that sits directly on top
of the Tila bead. Pick up three seed beads and pass through the seed bead you were exiting
at the beginning of this step. Pull snugly to form a picot.

Pass through the next two seed beads so that your thread is going in the direction parallel to
the row of Tila beads.

Pick up a Tila bead and two seed beads. Pass needle down through the next seed bead
between Tila beads of the previous row. Pull snugly.

To complete the picot, pick up 1 seed bead and pass through the first seed bead picked up in
the previous step. Pull snugly. A picot should form between the two Tila beads.

Continue to add Tila beads until you have added a total of 4 beads, with picots in between
each Tila. Remember to add the picot at the outside edge of the last Tila bead.
Pick up two seed beads and pass through the second hole of the Tila bead. Add seed beads
between each Tila bead, then pass through the first hole of the Tila beads and all the seed
beads in between to reinforce.

Add a picot at the top of the last Tila bead added, pass through the next two seed beads, and
continue adding beads in this manner.

For a 7 1/2" bracelet, you will need to stitch about 25 rows of Tila beads. You can adjust the
size of the bracelet by adding or subtracting rows.
After you have reached the size desired, pass needle through the beads so that you are
exiting the first seed bead between Tila beads.

To add the clasp, pick up 4 seed beads, pass needle through one hole of the clasp from back
to front, pick up 4 seed beads, and pass through the seed bead you exited at the beginning
of this step working in the same direction. Pull snugly and repeat the thread path a few
times to reinforce.

Pass needle through the next Tila bead and the next seed bead and repeat until you have
secured all three holes of the clasp with seed bead loops.

PRINTING

by Melanie Brummer

My favourite boots gave way last

winter. I simply could not bring
myself to throw them away. Especially
when I realised that the fabulous
tread was now available for
printing! I needed some unique gift
wrap for a special friend and it gave
me a wonderful chance to test drive
my new boot stamp.

22 CRAFTWISE
REQUIREMENTS:

For this project I used…

• Tissue paper in various colours
• Blanket
• Sponge roller
• Fabric paint in various colours
• Lid, tile or tray for inking up on
• Shoe with an interesting sole
• Pre-cut lino stamps
• Bucket with water for washing up
• Old, damp towel for catching spills and
wiping hands
• Spray bottle with water in for keeping ink
moist as you work

will register in the prints.

Cover your table with the blanket. It not only
catches the mess, it also provides a soft layer
of padding that you can press into to make
sure that all of the surfaces of your stamp
touch the delicate tissue paper with enough
pressure to transfer the ink in a smooth, even
layer. The blanket is the key to clear prints.
Lay the tissue paper flat on the blanket and
smooth it out. Try to smooth out the creases
as best you can before you start as creases
Scoop some fabric paint onto your lid with a
knife. Scoop up a small amount of paint onto
the sponge of the roller. Roll the ink out on
the lid. Roll the sponge back and forth with
the gentlest pressure to condition the ink and
coat the outside of the sponge with a very
thin, even coating of paint.
Apply a thin layer of purple fabric paint to the
surface of the stamps using a sponge roller.
Use the big stamp first to lay down evenly
scattered prints. Then add the more solid
hearts in the visual spaces.

On the first piece of paper, I worked with positive shapes. On the second piece I worked with negative shapes (the cut-
out's). I layered the prints in the same way that I did for the first piece. Wrap your personalised handmade gifts in
personalised handmade wrapping paper and show your loved ones just how much you care.

STAINED GLASS

FORYOUR GARDEN
byJacqui Holmes of Classy Glass Art Studio-Port Elizabeth
PHOTOGRAPHER: Cindy Barnes Photography – Port Elizabeth

Despite my best efforts, I have never been a great
gardener. I have tried, but I obviously don't have green
fingers and have even been known to kill a cactus -
accidentally of course! So my garden is filled with
hardy plants that can fend for themselves as well as
pebbles, driftwood and other decorative items that are
there to act as decoys, so that people are drawn to the
24 CRAFTWISE
garden ornaments, rather than the garden. On a trip
into the mountains of Hogsback in the Eastern Cape we
saw a beautiful butterfly and this is my version of that
butterfly.
This pattern I found when searching for “Free stained
glass patterns”, however, the colours and finish are
mine.
REQUIREMENTS: MATERIALS:

board is ideal for this. • I used a mixture of spectrum and Armstrong glass for this project.
• Paper scissors • Glue chip in red, Delta glass (the clear parts with texture) and Armstrong peach

• Prestik
• ¼ inch black back copper foil
• Glass cutter • Flux
• Grozier pliers • Copper and black patina mixed together in an empty bottle cap
• Glass grinder • Brass rod (brazing rod) for the feelers as well as the stand.
• Safety glasses if you do not wear • Solder (60/40)
specs • Clear lacquer spray if you are not going to patina the project.
• Glass grinder
• Sharpie pen (available from most
PNA’s) 1 2
• Latex gloves to protect your hands
while applying patina, if you have
sensitive skin.
• Paintbrushes or flux brushes to paint
flux and patina onto your project
• 100 W soldering Iron
• Soldering iron controller if your
soldering iron does not have a built in
thermostat to regulate the
temperature.
NB: If your soldering iron gets too
hot, the glass can crack during the
soldering process.

Once you are satisfied that the pieces
fit into your template use copper foil to
foil around each piece, ironing the foil
flat with the lathekin.

For the glass gems, place foil around each

one, flattening it with your fingers. Place
inside a plastic container with a lid, close
the lid and shake vigorously for a while.
This will flatten and iron out the foil on the
gems beautifully.

butterfly’s head.

I also used a piece of brazing rod
to make a stand for my butterfly
so that it looks like it is resting
naturally at an angle wherever you
decide to place it. Measure and cut
another piece of rod, bend it
slightly then sand it. Decide where
it will best work on your butterfly
and solder it in place on the
underside of the butterfly.
Rinse the butterfly off with the soapy solution
and dry gently and thoroughly. Using a soft
cloth, wipe all the seams and soldered areas with
some methylated spirits to remove any excess oil
from the flux that may not have washed off.
Now you can patina the project. I mixed a bit of
copper and black patina together. This was a
new experiment! You can do the same or just
use black or copper. If you want to leave it silver,
spray both sides with 2 coats of clear lacquer
spray to prevent the solder from going dull and
oxidizing.
8
Place your butterfly in your favourite
place in the garden and enjoy.
TIPS: Safety is important while working
with stained glass. Always wear safety
specs while cutting and grinding. If you
wear specs normally, these are usually
sufficient protection. Use a small scoop
and bannister brush to regularly clean
your work surface. Do not be tempted to
use your hand. While soldering remember:
Everything that is silver is HOT.

 CHAIN MAILLE

The European 4-in-1 chain maille

pattern lends itself very well to forming
the triangular shape of this "slave bracelet".
It can be made plain, or decorated with
beads or tiny bells.
We have made this with the silvery aluminium
rings, but it is also very attractive in copper or
golden brass rings.

 Tools and materials
• Aluminium jump rings 1.2/5.0 mm ID

adding the 'ears'. Make the chain
long enough to go around your wrist,
but not too loose.

Before closing this ring, add a

6 Pinch the chain along the edge as
shown, trapping about 4 rings
between your fingers. Make sure
they are all slanting the same way.
Hook a ring through the second ring,
and then the first ring, as shown, and
close.
Hook the next open ring through the
third and then the second ring and
close.
Repeat to the end of the chain.
This makes a flat chain 4 rings wide.
 7 Turn the chain over and add rings in
the same manner if you want it wider.
You can see the rings slant in the
opposite direction, but you just hook
the new rings through in the same
way as for the first side.
You now have a chain 5 rings wide.
The uneven number of rings makes a
neater end to the chain, as you have a
central ring to attach the clasp!
Now you need to create the triangular
piece to go over the back of the hand.
Fold your chain in half, and mark the
centre with a paperclip or wire tie.
Count 8 rings in each direction, and
join the eighth and seventh ring each
side as shown here.
Work across from one side to
complete the row. Place the piece on
your hand with the band around your
wrist, and look to see if the triangle
will be wide enough for your hand. If
you want it to be wider, add one or

by Manda Theart

Let us celebrate this Valentine’s Day by

sharing our hearts with these adorable
little bears. In the spirit of recycling all the
hearts can be re-purposed after our
picnic. The serviette bears can be made
into brooches or key ring accessories. The
hearts on the card become buttons and
the ones on the mugs - magnets.
38 CRAFTWISE
After more than 30 years of working mainly with Fimo polymer clay, I was challenged by Joan Spaull of
Country Crafts to try Sculpey and Premo polymer clays. I have to admit that I had no problem working
with these clays during winter with my cold hands as they are both much softer than Fimo therefore you
need to have “Butterfly” fingers when working with them. You also have to work very gently and never
overwork them. “Hot hands” are a problem and if you have “hot hands” keep your fingers cool on a tile
as you work. I find their range of colours amazing. Now for this project I used both Fimo and Premo.
Another quick tip before we start…mix old, hard and crumbly Fimo with Premo or Sculpey and you get a
lovely, medium soft clay. Enjoy.

You will need: you will need:

• Polymer clay: red, brown, cream and
black
• Glass or ceramic tile to work and bake

• Stanley blade
• Indenting tool (Knitting needle)
• Different needles i.e. knitter needles

the head, slightly off the tile. Place tiny balls of cream clay in each ear (remember two in
one) and indent again. Mark a line down bear’s face and indent a muzzle hole in his face
(this is just to define his cheeks).

“Stitch” on the line. Roll a ball of cream clay and place on the hole. Indent two eye socket

Some of the hearts and flowers are tiny,
so leave them one side and glue in place
after grouting. It will also give a nice 3D

One of the advantages of our ceramic
tiles is that it is soft enough so you can
sand the edges with a sanding block to a
smooth edge.
Mix the grout as per manufacturer's
instructions.
Tip: Ceramic tiles are porous so the grout
needs to be quite runny. If it is too thick it
will be difficult to fill the gaps in between
the tiles.Work the grout over the tiles
with a rubber kidney or your hand,
making sure the grout fill all the spaces.
Use a rubber squeegee or kidney to
remove the excess grout from the
surface of the mosaic before completing
the grouting.
Use a toothpick or old toothbrush to
clean the grout around the inserts.
Buff with a soft cloth.

Tip:
• Always mix enough grout to do your project.
• Do NOT add water or grout to an already mixed batch as this
will lead to your grout being chalky and dusty afterwards
Paint the edges of each canvas or wooden block with black craft
paint as well as the backing board (if you are going to use one) .
The finished pieces could be attached to the backing board to
make a single display or you can omit the backing board and hang
each piece individually, adding to the collection as you wish.

 All you will need to make these 7
ideas are:

your 'throwaway' paperback,

scissors, craft knife, cutting board,
steel ruler, glue, double-sided
tape, some coloured paper or card
of your choice, ready folded plain
greeting cards and envelopes,
string/twine/gut/thread, stamps,
stamp pad, stencil, paintbrush,
pegs, toothpicks, crimps, pliers
and some small pearly beads.

Fold a page in half and cut half of a heart shape out of the
printed section of the page. You now have a perfect heart
template to use if you want to cut more without a fold. You
also have a heart 'window' or stencil you can use. Choose the
page to capture any romantic wording for best effect. (This
will mean you have to read some of the love story!). I was
lucky – the first book I found had a dedication to Peter in the
front. Now that's my beloved's name so I knew I was on the
right page!

Stick your cut out onto contrasting coloured card. Black, red,
pink or buff coloured work well.

You can also stencil a pattern over the print using your
stamp pad for colour or rub the stamp pad around the edges
of the cut out to colour them or distress them.

Cut a heart shape from the remainder of the paperback cover. Cut two narrow strips of equal width from the length of the
cover. Stick double-sided tape down one side of the length of each strip. Cut notches in the strips. Remove the protective
double-sided tape cover. Bend and stick each strip around both sides of the heart shape forming a heart shaped box. Water
down your glue 1:1 and use all the scrap printed pieces from your cut outs to 'decoupage' your heart box. Several layers will

paper)back to back onto some thread or gut using
double-sided tape. Space the hearts at intervals
with paper and pearl beads in between. Keep the
beads in position with crimps squeezed tightly onto
the gut with pliers.
Stamp or stencil a message, hearts or patterns onto
lots of book pages. Stick double-sided tape to the top
edge of the pages. Fold and stick these onto thread or
twine and hang. If they look too flimsy then stick the
pages onto stiffer card, fabric, lace or hessian first. The
pages can also be laced if you punch holes in the top
edge instead of using double-sided tape.

mini love story

Cut a suitable book cover (it must fold into front, spine and back) from a section of your paperback cover and cut it accurately
with a craft knife. Cut a chunk of printed matter a little larger than your folded book cover front/back and the same thickness
as the 'spine'. Peg this together and paint glue onto the spine edges and leave to dry. Glue this spine edge into position in the
folded cover and peg tightly until dry. Trim the pages flush with the cover using the craft knife and ruler.You can edge the
pages with a stamp pad to
colour or age them as for
the cards. Use a fountain or
koki pen to write your own
love message in the pages
over the small printed

To enhance the indented areas, paint black water-
based craft paint over the designs once they have
been polished, then rub off with a damp tissue.
A small table will work just as well for this game.
1 Sand the top of the log with the course sandpaper to get rid of very rough areas. The
top does not have to be perfectly smooth. Spray with two coats of clear varnish.
Trace the bee, snail and lizard designs onto the tracing paper. You will need to make
five bees, five snails and one lizard for the game.
All the designs are completed in high relief. Place the pewter onto the cutting mat,
secure with masking tape, secure the traced design onto the pewter with tape. Trace
the design onto the pewter using the tracing tool. Remove all masking tape.

2
Turn pewter over and place onto two pieces of felt.
Use the paper pencil and a pointy silicon tool to mould out the back of the designs.

3 Neaten up around your raised areas by placing the pewter front side up onto the
cutting mat and ‘drawing’ around the edges with the paper pencil and then with the
tracing tool.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have finished moulding out the designs.
Fill the backs with melted beeswax. Clean off any wax which is outside the design
lines with turpentine on cotton wool. Place the pewter front side up onto the cutting
mat, run the tracer tool carefully inside the spiral of the snail’s shell to give it good
definition.

4 Complete the polishing process, remember to wear gloves. First clean the front of
the pewter with turps, and then baby powder. Apply the patina, stop applying once
the metal becomes black. Polish off the patina with metal polish.
Dip the paintbrush into the patina, drag the bristles against the side of the bottle to
get rid of any excess, then paint the lizards eye to blacken it. Rinse under water to
neutralise the patina. Paint the stripes on the abdomen of the bees using the same
method.

5 Cut out your garden creatures using a needle point cutter. Glue the bees and snails
to the stones. Once the glue is dry, seal the stones with spray varnish. Glue the
lizard in place on the log.

6 Cut a strip of pewter about 3 cm x 25 cm. Polish and patina. Spray both sides of the
pewter strip with spray varnish. Place the strip onto the cutting mat and mask it to
the mat with a strip of tape at each end. Cut 4 strips about 4 mm in width. Cut them
to the appropriate lengths for your log. Glue into position on the log. Once all the
glue is dry, seal the top of the log with a good coat of spray varnish.

Exploring Darling and the Swartland

Spring arrived early this year, and in August

our Marietjie Breet took a trip through the
Swartland to experience what the town of
Darling has to offer for the creative explorer.

In August I was fortunate enough to visit

the West Coast to see the beautiful
selection of wildflowers on display.
Between July and September this semi
desert area evolves into a kaleidoscope of
color. We were very exited about the trip
and were not deterred by everyone telling
us that the flowers are not as beautiful as
previous years. Boy were we amazed! Only
a short drive out of Mossel Bay the show
started with fields of flowers and although
at first most of the flowers we saw were
Canola, it was still breathtaking.

Although the famous Namaqualand

technically only starts about 5 hours up
from Cape Town, the Swartland Region is
also along the Flower Route and it's known
to put on its own show of colour each
spring.

Our destination was Darling, a small

farming town less than an hour up the
coast from Cape Town. It's best known for
its great summer weather, coffee shops,
farm stalls, flowers, music festivals and of
course; Evita Bezuidenhout.
58 CRAFTWISE
Evita Se Perron
Darling is home to the famous Evita Se
Perron, a tribute to one of the most
controversial woman in South Africa . Here
Pieter-Dirk Uys - better known to South
Africans as his feminine alter ego Evita
Bezuidenhout - performs his comedy shows
on stage (in drag) and when there isn't a show
on you can watch an entertaining DVD of him
on a big screen while you have a meal or a
drink. Evita se Perron is an expression of
South Africa and its culture from yesteryear
to the present, and makes for a unique and
entertaining experience you'll probably never
forget. There is also an array of souvenirs and
crafty gifts for sale. Evita se Peron is open for
the public Tuesday to Sunday 10H00 to
16H00. If you haven't been there you havn't
really experienced the essence of Darling.

The Marmalade Cat

Along the main road be sure to pop in at The

Marmalade Cat, a hard-to-miss marmalade
colored building on the main road which
offers delicious breakfasts, lunches, and
afternoon teas in a relaxed setting. There is
also a gift shop and “the cat walk” where you
will find unique clothing, bags and shoes. If
you want to meet the marmalade cat in
person, you will find it curled up in the
sunniest part of the shop.

Darling Gallery

We found the Darling Gallery in Station street,

a great place to discover the local talent and
find inspiration for your own creative side.
The sign outside told us that the grand
opening was only at 12h00 but when the
owner Elmie Smit spotted us she was kind
enough to invite us in for a sneak peak. “A
quilt of portraits” was currently exhibited
there which was mixed media portraits by
local professional and amateur artists. The
gallery focuses on everything from painting
and collage to photography and sculpture.

 WHAT TO DO
The Darling Music Experience
This area is no stranger to music festivals, on
specific weekends in the summer the youthful
population of Cape Town (and those who are
young at heart) pack their cars and stream up
the coast to get away from society for a while
and experience two of the most beautiful
things together; music and nature. From the
now-famous Rocking the Daisies festival to
other rock and electronic music festivals, this
part of the country has become a prime
location for the music culture.
From 30 Jan - 15 Feb 2015 Darling will play
host to music lovers from all over the country
for their annual Darling Music Experience.
There will be concerts happening all over town
in interesting venues such as wine estates, an
old church, a barn and many more. The
Experience caters for many different tastes
offering performances in classic and
contemporary chamber music, choir works,
opera, and jazz among others. The festival is
sure to open your eyes to the exceptional
talent our country has to offer.
The festival aims to freshen the face of
classical music and to make it more accessible
to all sectors of society.
www.darlingmusic.org
Darling Brew
Craft beer is fast becoming a trend around the
world, as beer lovers have begun to prefer the
refined taste of lesser-known brands of beer
over the more well known mass produced
variety. The folks at Darling Brew have made it
their mission to create a range of slow-
brewed, uniquely flavored beer that will
intrigue everyone, from the beer sipper to the
seasoned connoisseur . Have a look at their
site for more info www.darlingbrew.co.za.
Darling Sweet
A trip to Darling Sweet is both delicious and
educational. Their hand made toffee is out of
this world, with flavours such as ; Sour fig, Salt
and Honey, and their traditional Classic toffee.
The butter for the toffee is supplied by a local
farmer and made in the European cultured
butter tradition. Pick up a bag as a gift or for
your own guilty pleasure, or pop in to see the
toffee making process in action.
www.darlingsweet.co.za
The Darling Museum
Darling has a rich history dating back to the
18th century Victorian era. The Darling
Museum in Pastorie street is a time travelers
delight. It has a traditional kitchen on display
and this got my partner Baruch very exited. He
is a chef and coffee roaster and all the food
and coffee related gadgets enthralled him.
The West Coast National Park
The most appealing aspect of this side of our
country is the abundance of natural beauty.
While in the area we just had to see the 27,500
hectare West Coast National Park that lies just
aboveYserfontein. It’s well known for its
birdlife and its yearly psychedelic displays of
colourful wildflowers . There are plenty of
picnic spots, braai areas and bird hides to spy
on the variety of feathered locals you’re sure
to encounter. The area is also home to various
types of buck, Zebra, Bat Eared Fox, Caracal,
Cape gray mongoose and a list of other fury
things.
If you’re looking for culture, experience,
entertainment and more importantly,
inspiration, then the Swartland is a gold mine.

When I bought these mats on a sale some months

back I just knew I would not be able to keep them
clean for very long and that one day it was inevitable
that I re-invent them into a second life - one in full
colour!

How to dye the mats
For this project I use the “All-In” method of dyeing that I mention in my
books, Contemporary Dyecraft and 50 Silk Scarves. I work with water from 1 2
the kettle that has just boiled. The whole idea is to work as fast as possible
stirring in all the chemicals so that by the time the fabric goes in.The liquid
should be at the optimum temperature for a reactive dye i.e. 65-70 °C.

Adding the navyblue

Boil 2l of water in the kettle. Pour it into one of the 10l buckets.
Stir in the dye powder (Sachet 1) until all the lumps have dissolved.
Stir in the salt (Sachet 2) until all the lumps have dissolved.
Stir in all of the fixative (Sachet 3) until all the lumps have dissolved.
Push the mat down into the navy blue dye with the folded centre of the mat
in the dye and the edges of the mat sticking out of the top of the bucket.
This will create a navy stripe down the centre of the mat.

Adding the turquoise

1 2
Although I used three packs of
turquoise dye on each mat, I still
mixed each sachet separately.

Boil 2l of water in the kettle.

Pour it into one of the 5l buckets.
Stir in the turquoise dye powder
(Sachet 1) until all the lumps have
dissolved.
Stir in the salt (Sachet 2) until all the
lumps have dissolved.
Stir in all of the fixative (Sachet 3) until
all the lumps have dissolved.
3 4 5
Pour the turquoise dye along the
centre of the bundle in a line, leaving
the edges white.

Mix the second pack of turquoise dye

the same way and repeat the process.

Do the same with the third pack of

turquoise dye until the centre of the
bundle is soaked with colour.

Adding the greens

I mixed the lime green in the same way
and poured it along the one white edge
1 2 3
of the bundle and then did the same
with the dark green, but on the other
side. By this time the bucket is full of
liquid Leave it to stand just like this
overnight.

I made the second mat the same way

and left them to stand side by side in
the kitchen. It’s best to leave the dye on
the fabric for 24 hours.

CRAFTWISE 63
 Leftover dye
Why throw it away when you can
re-use it? I poured off the excess
dye from this project, put it into
the microwave oven to re-heat it,
and used it to spruce up another
old mat that needed a facelift.

Washing the mats

These 100% cotton mats are very heavy
when they are wet. I lifted them out into
my shower and gave them their first rinse
when I showered in the morning. This is a
good way to conserve water when
working on such a large project.
It helps to drain off the worst of the
excess dye before you put them into your
washing machine for a thorough wash.
Wash them on the longest cycle in cold
water. Wash them twice to be sure.
Dry flat and enjoy!

Notice how the dark green looks brown on the one mat. This is caused when there was not enough heat in the
process. I allowed the water to cool down too much before I got the dark green dye onto the fabric and the colour did
not fix properly to the mat. I love these kinds of variance in tie dye because it is this variance that gives the work its
unique life. I love my new mats and they have really cheered up my room. I can stare at the rich colours and textures
in the pile all day.
Over the past twenty years I have dyed all sorts of things in many different ways. If you would like to learn how to dye
your canvas takkies, send me an e-mail with the words “I Want To Dye My Takkies!” in the tagline and I will send you a
complimentary eBook that teaches you how.

Craftalicious crafts a 50th

How on earth does one plan a surprise, low key 50th for
The Scrap Queen? A lady that has excelled at every
craft she puts her hands to, and usually my crafter in
crime too.

My co-collaborator bowed out of any part in the

platters. Easy enough!

I got busy on the all important theme and look. Easy

enough too. The theme had to be Karen and the look
had to be vintage. I am obsessed with a table setting
and this, of course, begins with a tablecloth. So,
seeing that Karen was the theme herself, she had to
have her own “Karen” tablecloth. She has a gorgeous

begging for a covering.

With the help of a designer friend we began the huge

task of putting everything that is “Karen”, onto a 3 m

66 CRAFTWISE
piece of fabric. We even designed her very own “Scrap
Queen” coat of arms. It was quite a challenge, but such
a rewarding one. We had to get it just right because she
is a remarkable woman that is so many things to so
many people. We found a printer to put our design into
reality and held our collective breaths for the final
product.

Next, name places and table décor. Karen and I had

recently been experimenting with plaster and fabric
roses. So I set about turning my kitchen into a plaster
dripping line. And with the help of a plaster mould and
some ribbon, I made the name places.

I decided to use the plaster roses for the table décor

too. I called on an old friend of mine -Spray Paint - and
painted some coffee jars and old glasses for our vases.
Enter bits of lace and after raiding my jewellery
cupboard, we had our table décor.

Then we needed some drama. Karen has an obsession

with doilies. And I have an obsession with OTT (over
the top) excess. This turned into a paper doily clad
ribbon maypole idea for above our table.

For our welcome entrance, I 'borrowed' her journal

project (we have both been doing a 'photo per day in
the life of…') I scanned her final page and we re-
designed it into a welcome poster.

And there you have it. Actually, the day was full of
other very sentimental surprises too, but too much to
fit into this article. For the full story have a look on my
blog www.alovelylife.co
