I had to post this tutorial that came up after I watched my own tutorial. What a great idea and one I hadn't thought of! You can watch this tutorial to find out how to print images on to dryer sheets and use them in your art projects. They turn out really cool and translucent, so I can think of a lot of "overlay" uses for them. Check out this short and easy tutorial!

A New Video Tutorial on Mixed Media Art Cloths!
Well, I finally did it. It took me way too long, as I know next to nothing about using iMovie and it seems like everything I did took forever for my computer to process...but I did it! So I can cross this one off my list of short term goals to accomplish. I really want to make more video tutorials on other techniques, so that will be something I'll be working on soon. But here it is lady's and gentlemen....drumroll please....
A tutorial on how to make larger mixed media art cloths using recycled materials!

One quick little note about viewing this video...because I used a sound track from Youtube, they throw in advertisements at the bottom of the screen. You can "X" these out at the top right corner of the advertisement itself so that you can see all of the screen.

2012 Planners...Covers made from recycled dryer sheets!
Here are a few more items that I've made using my recycled/upcycled dryer sheet technique. If you haven't seen my "How To" video tutorial on this technique, you can check it out at the end of this post.
I can't believe how sturdy the end results are! I wish you could hold these in your hands and feel the texture. It really has a true "leathery" feel and holds up to the sewing machine so well. If I were more of a seamstress I would be going crazy with things to make, but unfortunately, the sewing machine and I don't usually get along very well.
These are 2012 Planners that I made the covers for out of art "cloth" using used dryer sheets as my canvas and lots of collage and paint.
I also scanned them before I folded them to make the covers...So here is what they look like front and back before folding them...
