Summer Heat, Winter Ephemera!
As we celebrated Christmas in July and BERNINA Swissmas in July, I showed off some of my seasonal art quilts and ‘how to’ ideas for making gifts and décor, gift suggestions, technique demos and more during our Facebook Live videos. For those who missed them, or would like a rewatch, these videos are now archived on our Artistic Artifacts YouTube channel

I’ve often shared vintage ephemera scans from my personal collection in the past, and am gathering these into one place for you. I hope they find their way into your own holiday projects! Above, Christmas Signpost/Luck — Download the high-resolution image »
In my latest Artistic Artifacts Creative Clip, I share some of the direct print and transfer products I use for the vintage photographs and imagery that make their way into my fiber and mixed media art! I hope you’ll find it a useful introduction to what these products can do, including Transfer Artist Paper (TAP) sold per 5 sheet and 18 sheet packs. Important note: Any ephemera that includes words must be printed as a reverse image so the words will read correctly once it is transferred. (And remember that earlier this year I shared a Creative Clip dedicated to TAP.)
