A diversion

3/8/2024

 
zentangle vicki welsh
Anyone remember when I used to do some Zentangling? Well, yesterday I needed to pull out the books and pens and revisit that craft for a few hours. This is the envelope for our files for the tax accountant. Overkill? Maybe, but there's a backstory.

​Many years ago we started having our taxes done my professionals because, well, I'm incompetent at it and I really hate doing it. When we moved to Richmond we went to a local firm where my cousin worked and she did our taxes for years. 

About 5 years ago I decided to start decorating the envelopes for her just to give her something different to see other than a pile of endless manilla envelopes. She liked them but I didn't know that she liked them enough to hang them in her office for everyone to see. 

Fast forward to last year. My cousin had retired so our new accountant is Samuel. Woohoo! I didn't have to decorate envelopes anymore. Then Samuel called to let me know that the taxes were ready and mentioned that he didn't get a decorated envelope.

So here we are. I'm back to decorating tax envelopes! This is what I spent yesterday doing and it was fun to do some Zentangling again. It took several hours but it's such a relaxing was to spent time.

​Below are some progress photos.

More Wild Gears, Zentangle and labels

2/21/2019

 
When I posted about my Wild Gears + Zentangle labels last week enough of you were interested that I thought I'd share a little more along with the last 2 finished quilt labels.
wild gears
When you order Wild Gears they come like this. They are precision laser cut  and there are a lot of gears on one sheet. This is the Compact Gear Set. The larger Full Gear set that I bough is about 16" square. The larger pen holes are for making parallel designs. You draw once in the large hole and the insert one of the little fillers in the same hole and draw again.
wild gears
That's how I did this one.
zentangle quilt label
I filled in the space to make a dark frame and then did Zentangle designs to fill the spaces.
wild gears quilt label
For this label I nested one Wild Gears design in another. You can see the pencil lines that I used to center the ring on the label.
wild gears quilt label
Here's the finished label.

I draw my labels on paper and then photocopy them to fabric that's prepared for printing. You can get printable fabric from a lot of sources but I generally prepare my own.
Picture
These labels used the last of my stash of printer fabric sheets so it was time to make more this weekend. This is a pretty boring chore so I try to make enough to last me for a while. I fold about 4 yards of Pimatex fabric in a plastic container and pour a whole bottle of Bubble Jet Set over it and let if stand for a few hours to totally soak in. I use Pimatex because the tight, fine weave accepts printing detail better.

After the fabric is saturated I hang it over the shower rod to drip dry, I don't wring it. Hanging it to drain on it's own makes it much easier to iron. I iron it to freezer paper sheets and then I can store it indefinitely for future printing. Here are 55 sheets that I made Sunday so I'm set for a while.

Zentangle + Wild Gears, a new toy!

2/14/2019

 
By now you know that I'm a little obsessed with Spirograph motifs. When one of my customers told me about Wild Gears, the adult Spirograph, I was all in! I immediately bought a set for my best friend for Christmas and then a week ago I borrowed them from her. After one day of playing I went ahead and ordered her a new set because I have gears spread all over my cutting table and I don't know if I'll get them all organized again.
wild gears
I'm just starting to figure out what I can do with them but they have some really cool features. They have odd shaped wheels (squared, triangles and ovals) and lots of sizes of rings. 
wild gears
But one of the coolest things is the ability to do designs in parallel lines with these little inserts. You draw the design once in the big hole and then put the little circle in that hole and do the design again.
wild gears
This is a really simple design that I did in parallel lines. As I was working with these I thought that I might be able to combine the WG designs with Zentangle for my quilt labels. Fortunately I just happen to have 3 quilts that need labels right now! With this one I will color in the space between the lines and then fill the sections with Zentangle designs.
wild gears
I'm still getting the hang of figuring out how to read the codes on the gears and rings to predict how the design might turn out. At first I was disappointed with this....but then I got an idea.
wild gears
I wanted a small, simple label for my Stars At Sea quilt and this design gave me an easy way to create a simple frame. I used pencil to mark the center of the design side-to-side and top-to-bottom and used those marks to center the ring.
zentangle quilt label
Here's the completed label. I can now copy it to fabric to put it on my quilt. I think it's pretty darned cute.
wild gears
Now I'm playing around to try out more gears and hopefully will find a good frame for my third label. 

In case you need some for yourself, I ordered the Compact Gears and the Full Page Gears for Anne and I just ordered a new set for her plus a couple of other sets for myself. If you like Spirograph, you will love these! If you are on Instagram search #wildgears and you will see some amazing designs that others have done. My designs are baby steps compared to what other people are doing.

​Go ahead, you know you needed a new hobby.

Truly finished

3/2/2018

 
In the past 2 months I've finished 2 quilts but neither was truly finished until this week when they got their labels. Sometimes I annoy myself with the pressures I put on myself and the perfect example is the Zentangle labels. I used to do really simple printed labels but then I got the "great" idea to Zentangle labels. Every time I need to make a new quilt label I consider just taking the easy route but I love the labels so much when I'm done so I keep going.
This time I needed to make new labels for Parasol and The Maine Quilt.

I start these by printing the label text on paper and I do all of the drawing on paper. That gives me the opportunity to start over if needed. After the label is done I print it on fabric. I also don't plan them. I start with the first idea and just add things as I go along. Here are the steps that I went through for the label for the Maine Quilt.
zentangle
The only idea I had to start with is that I wanted a state outline on the label.
zentangle
The star on the label marks an area near Sebec Lake where I sun printed all of the fabrics in the quilt.
zentangle
Did you know that the state tree is the pine and the state flower is the pine cone? So a pine motif....

Not quite right.

Needs some fill in.

One down, one to go!

A simple foundation.

Done!
And, yes, I'm still glad I do the Zentangle labels. Once I get started on them I find it very relaxing to do.

Zentangle labels mark the completion!

The quilts are done and already in the mail! This is the first year that I've done 2 quilts but I had 2 ideas and really wanted to see both. I'm glad I did because I like both a lot...for different reasons.
Picture
The names of both quilts are a play on the name of the new fabric line "Wonderlust". The first quilt is the Lone Star block from blockbase blown up to 36" square.  

I love the proccess of making the Zeentangle labels but the label from this quilt gave me fits. I must have started a half dozen ideas before settling on this one that it totally copied from something I saw on Google.

Picture
I have to submit line drawings for my quilts so that's why I have line drawings to share with you. Beware of Lust is the name of this quilt. Anyone care to guess the meaning of the name? It's a bit convoluted but if you figure it out you will get a good chuckle out of it.

I'll tell you the real story when I can reveal the quilts at the end of October. For now, I can get back to my own quilting!

Rainbow's End Label

8/15/2017

 
I spend so much time on the Zentangle quilt labels that I like to give them their own post. Learning to do Zentangling has taught me more than how to doodle/draw but the Zentangle system really speaks to the project manager in me to break down any overwhelming task into smaller, manageable steps. It's because of Zentangling that I was able to take on the big mosaic wall and some of my quilting projects.
vicki welsh zentangle
Because this blank page really intimidates me and every single time I start one I have a moment where I almost stop and just print a simple label. But I go back to the Zentangle method and start with the tangle.
vicki welsh
From 500 Tangled Artworks book
The tangle is the basic structure and I often look to Google and my books for tangle ideas. I got the heart label tangle from Zentangle that I saw on Google. My tangle/structure for this label came from my favorite book: 500 Tangled Artworks. I liked this one a lot and it became the basis for my tangle.
vicki welsh zentangle
I penciled in a vertical structure on the left side, a rainbow shape and something curvy at the end of the rainbow. Now I had a starting point and I can start looking for element ideas from the books and web.
vicki welsh zentangle
I decided that my rainbow would have 3 bands and that was important for the vertical element. I wanted one band to come into the frond that I chose for the vertical.
vicki welsh zentangle
Then I added the fluff on the right and the rainbow bands.
vicki welsh zentangle
Starting the rainbow elements.
vicki welsh zentangle
At this point all of the basic elements are done. From here I'm usually pretty relaxed about it and starrt having fun adding details. From here it's hard to make myself stop.
vicki welsh zentangle
Better but not done yet.
vicki welsh zentangle
It needed something on the bottom. I'm not overly thrilled with what I did but I don't hate it and Zntangling is as much about the process as the product. I just go where these take me and this is where I went. But is it done?
​Nope.
vicki welsh zentangle
Now it's done!
I worked on this over 2 evenings and once I got started it was actually very relaxing to work on it.

Here it is stitched on the back of the quilt.

The wedding quilt label

8/8/2017

 
I thank/blame my sister-in-law for teaching me to Zentangle for getting me into a situation where my quilt labels are no longer simple printed labels. I really enjoy the challenge of Zentangle but it's not something I'd just sit down and do. I'm not a random doodler. I wish I was, but I'm not. I need purpose and quilt labels seemed a fine purpose. You can see all of the ones I've done in my Zentangle Gallery. The next one was the label for the wedding quilt and I needed to get it done because the quilt will be gifted this Friday!
vicki welsh zentangle quilt label
I start my labels the same way every time. I print the text on paper (2 or 3 copies to allow for starting over). Then I pencil in the "tangle". The tangle is the backbone of the design. Honestly, I get a lot of my tangle ideas from Google. In this case I Googled "zentangle heart" and saw one done with this shape and started with that.
vicki welsh zentangle quilt label
The next step is the hardest and that's picking the first design! My favorite source is the Tangle Patterns web site. Their patterns are grouped by name so I randomly pick a letter and go to that section and make myself pick a pattern from that section.
vicki welsh zentangle quilt label
I just kept going like that until it was done and I love the finished design. Sometimes doing these stresses me out a little but I'm always happy with the finish. I think it makes the quilt just a timy bit more special.

Rainbow Quilt Label

5/15/2017

 
I finished the Rainbow Quilt weeks ago but hadn't done the label yet. I have to deliver the quilt this weekend so it was time to get it done. Normally, that should not be a big deal but a few years ago I started doing Zentangle labels so they take a little longer. Here's how I made the one for Ashley's Rainbow Quilt.
vicki welsh
Ashley is my nephew's new wife and I decided that this quilt would be hers. Every time I think about the Rainbow Quilt I think about the song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". Since my nephew graduated in a music program I thought to put the music theme in the label. He played trombone so I found the sheet music for the trombone for Somewhere Over The Rainbow.

I start my labels by printing the text on paper  and then drawing around it. I do a lot in pencil before I totally commit to the design.
vicki welsh
I played around with some ideas for the bass clef and settled, more or less, on this.
vicki welsh
Time to put pen to paper.
vicki welsh
It's been way too many years since I learned to read and play music so if there's anything wrong with this please don't tell me. This is supposed to be the part that goes "and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true"
vicki welsh
I just continue to add elements until it feels done.
vicki welsh
A few ribbons and dots and I was done. I printed it on fabric and now it's stitched on the quilt and ready for delivery.

Black Swan Zentangle Label

3/25/2016

 
I am continuing my ice pack regime and my knee is getting better. Aside from doing squats and burpees, driving and sewing are the worst activities for it. Tomorrow I'm teaching at Visarts so Chris is going to take me and spend a couple of house in Carytown while my class is going on.
Picture
I have to say that this week hasn't been a total loss. I finished drawing the label for Black Swan and it's now printed to fabric. I'll probably sew it on tomorrow afternoon.

Mostly, I've been working on setting up a new website where I can consolidate my blog and both shops. It took me almost all of 3 days to test out several platforms. There are pros and cons to all of them. I narrowed it to Squarespace and Weebly and opened free accounts on both. After spending a couple of hours on each I was able to get much farther faster on Weebly so that's what I'm going with. I don't know how long it will be before I can roll it all out because I have TONS of stuff to transfer. But when it's ready we will have a big party!
