In the Studio: February 2024

This month has been a lot of boring background work, like moving my work studio from my dining room (80 sq ft) to my living room (150 sq ft). This means now there are two separate workspaces so I can bring in a helper and work without constantly bumping elbows. (Now I just have to hire a helper)

My mom has been lovely in helping me move things, stop and think about it, and decide to move them into entirely different places. Partly because I get fatigued really easily and could almost always do with a break, we always stop banging and clanging when Emily-cat comes out of the bedroom to pet her and promise we don't want to take away all her places to snooze and hide. We're just shifting them around a bit.

I also had one of those moments where I needed to create something for myself or I was going to scream. Which happens sometimes. So I grabbed a design from a 1919-1920 home decor stencil catalog I have and cut a version in removable vinyl for my wall. Here it is, 99% finished, on my newly installed makeup table (cupboard door from ReStore & intricately painted Ikea shelf brackets no one will ever see)

It's an art-nouveau dandelion, which I've never seen before and think is just really frigging cool.

And yes, I know I could try to monetize these images since they're out of copyright and I had to work to make the grainy base image into a better stencil, but like... I am le tired. I have to market so many things. SVGs on Etsy are up for all of five minutes before someone else traces your listing photo and sells it in a bundle with a bunch of other stolen art. I just want to share something small and lovely. Here you go.

So I painted my yoga mat... I'm including the process and credits below the cut.

So, I have been wanting a cork yoga mat for a while. Do I need one? No. Will I pick up yoga again for a month and then quit? Hopefully not, but likely yes.

Every time I get back into yoga, I start looking at cork yoga mats because they're grippier and also very very pretty. The only problem is... they are friggin' expensive.

I first was attracted to cork yoga mats because of some of the really amazing designs, but I can't afford this shit. Instead, I settled for a cheaper cork yoga mat that is plain, and I thought that if I saved up enough money and still cared about yoga enough to buy a fancy one, I would.

But then I got to thinking... could I paint my yoga mat? And the answer is yes, yes I can.

I originally got the idea when I read online of other people doing this to their rubber and PVC mats, so you do not need a cork mat to do this!

Buying the Mat

Even an inexpensive cork yoga mat is still far more than I've ever spent on one before, so I had to choose wisely. I ended up choosing the Gaiman cork yoga mat, which is about 5mm in thickness. It's roughly 68 x 24 inches. One thing I had read is that cork mats can get quite heavy, but this one is pretty lightweight while still being cushy. I was really tempted to use it right away, but I didn't want it to get dirty or oily before I painted it.

The Design

I am not an artist. I cannot draw well enough to freehand something confidently. What I do have is a Cricut Maker. If you don't know what a Cricut Maker is, it's an ill-advised purchase that I got secondhand and is actively ruining my budget. Depending on the model, it can cut out designs on a variety of materials, such as vinyl or infusible ink and can even tool leather. I used cardstock for this project to cut out stencils.

There are many free SVG templates out there as well as images created by other Cricut Makers that are only .99 each. There are many, many other places where you can purchase designs as well, or you can create your own! I am not talented enough to create my own design.

I tried several free SVGs, didn't like them, and then stumbled on this on Design Space, the Circut Maker program/shop. To quote Macklemore, "But shit, it was 99 cents!"

The image was designed by GlamSVG by Emylia and the inspiration came from an embroidery pattern by Emily June, which you can find HERE. I went through an embroidery phase during quarantine, and I have mine hung on the wall. I look at it daily.

I had to resize this image to fit my yoga mat, which ended up being 24 x 36". Because I cut the stencil out of cardstock, I had to segment everything into 8.5x11 pieces, cut, weed, and then piece it all back together on the mat. Once I had all the pieces, I stuck them to transfer paper to keep the floating segments in place. I organized and labeled everything so I could put it back together again easily. It looked like this:

Once it was assembled, I sprayed the backs with temporary adhesive so the stencils would stay down. I removed the transfer paper and began painting the outline. I did end up losing a couple of the floating pieces (see the letter O and the leaf on the far right side), so I had to freehand some of it. Overall, the stencil turned out great!

I had a variety of success with the temporary adhesive. Because I bought a more inexpensive mat, I soon discovered how not durable it is. The 'temporary' adhesive pulled up small pieces of cork after I removed the stencil. This was partially my fault, since I didn't pull up the stencil as I went. Still, there were pieces that were going to lift anyway. This revealed that the cork is only one layer, but fortunately, each piece of cork that lifted was quite small and unnoticeable, and the thread behind it matched in color. It wasn't ideal, but I could live with it.

Some of the cardstock became permanent fixtures on the mat, which I then had to paint over. Also, some of the stencil didn't stick at all, so I had minor bleed through. Problems all around! But it still turned out nicely!

I need to preface that I have never painted anything before. Well, that's a lie. I've painted a wall, and six years ago I had a Bob Ross themed birthday party. The SO, however, is the son of an artist and taught me about mixing acrylic. His first tip was to test out colors. I used Paint.Net and came up with this mock-up:

I knew I wanted the heart anatomy to be shades of red, so that was easy. The flowers were harder. I tried my favorite colors, like yellow and purple, but it didn't sit right visually. I turned to Canva Color Wheel to help me find complementary colors to the shades of red I wanted to use. That's how I came up with the pretty blues. To mix the colors, I used ColorHexa to show me the percentage of CYMK I needed.

Here are some progress shots:

I'm super happy with how it turned out! My color mixing didn't turn out exactly like the mock up, but I love the results. The last step was to let it dry for at least 48 hours. Then I set it with Mod Podge Acrylic Sealer.

I chose Mod Podge since it's non-toxic, and I will be putting my face on it. Also, my dogs walk on it while I do yoga. They think it belongs to them. :) Knowing now that there is only 1 layer of cork, I do worry how it'll hold up to dog nails over time.

Lastly, the real test was to see if it would roll, and it does! So now I just need a yoga strap, and I'm good to go!

was wanting to rebind my paper-back books as hardback, leather with golden or silver filigree

Need to learn book binding, leatherwork, graphic design, converting images to SVG, making stencils

Also need to find out where I can get leather, golden/silver vinyl, a vinyl cutting printer thing

Really annoying though, a series I have has 8 paper-backs the same size, and then a hardback with entirely different dimensions

Omg that sounds soooooo cool tho!!!!! Maybe a cricut machine would work??

Textile Type: Adding Typography to Fabric Crafts

This is where your fonts get cozy. We’re turning cloth, canvas, and cotton into typographic playgrounds. Whether you want to make a personalized tote, a custom quote tee, or an embroidered affirmation to hang above your coffee bar, this is the juicy stuff.

Why Typography Loves Textiles (and Vice Versa)

Custom vibes. You can literally wear your favorite quote.

Gift goldmine. Monogrammed napkins or punny shirts? Chef’s kiss.

Typography teaches patience. Especially if you're hand-embroidering the word “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.”

Fonts become fashion. Ever rocked a sweatshirt that says “Hustle Hard”? Now you can make one.

🪡 Tools of the (Textile Typography) Trade

Depending on your method of attack, here’s what you might use:

For Painting:

Fabric paint or markers

Freezer paper (for stencils)

Foam brush or fine tip brushes

Iron and ironing board

Fonts printed out on paper

For Embroidery:

Embroidery hoop

Embroidery floss

Fabric (cotton or linen is easiest)

Needle

Water-soluble pen or transfer paper

Fonts printed for tracing

For Iron-On Vinyl (Cricut & Co.):

Heat transfer vinyl (HTV)

Cutting machine (like Cricut or Silhouette)

Iron or heat press

Weeding tool

Font file loaded into your design software (SVG or PNG)

🧢 Project 1: “Say It with a Tote” – Painted Typography Bag

Steps:

Choose your quote—fun, fierce, or floral. Example: “Crafting is my cardio.”

Choose a bold, easy-to-read font. (Try Bebas Neue or Montserrat.)

Print out the text, then cut it into a stencil using freezer paper.

Iron the stencil onto a canvas tote.

Dab on fabric paint with a foam brush.

Let dry, peel the stencil, strut your tote around town like it’s haute couture.

🧵 Project 2: Embroidered Quote Hoop

Low-tech, high-impact.

Steps:

Choose a short quote. “Stay cozy” or “Kindness wins.”

Select a pretty script font like Great Vibes or Pacifico.

Trace the letters onto your fabric using transfer paper or a water-soluble pen.

Stretch the fabric into your hoop.

Start stitching! Back stitch or split stitch works great for lettering.

Pro tip: Add embellishments like little flowers or stars around the words for ✨ drama ✨.

👕 Project 3: Custom T-Shirts with Iron-On Vinyl

Say goodbye to boring graphic tees. Hello, typographic flair.

Steps:

Choose your font. (Keep it bold and legible.)

Design the layout in your cutting software. Remember to mirror the text!

Cut it from heat transfer vinyl.

Weed the excess vinyl.

Position on your shirt and press with heat.

Peel and admire. You're now a walking billboard of your own taste.

Typography Tips for Fabric Crafters

Avoid thin fonts for painting. Bleed city!

Stick to sans-serifs for iron-ons. Cleaner cuts, better readability.

Embrace script for embroidery. It's like cursive with flair.

Prewash your fabric. Shrinkage is the enemy of perfect alignment.

Mix fonts carefully. Limit yourself to two per project—max.

Unique Fact of the Day 🧠

The first commercially successful T-shirt with printed typography was a political campaign tee from the 1948 U.S. presidential election. That's right—fonts on fabric have been spreading messages for over 75 years!
