Soap Bag with Connie Mercer

Today's gorgeous vintage-style technique comes from DT Member Connie Mercer.  Connie stamped on one of our muslin bags with Ranger Archival Ink and a Darkroom Door stamp to create this one-of a kind bag.  Once she embellished it with sunny seam binding, some vintage trims, and a burlap butterfly, Connie added a bar of sweet smelling soap and had the perfect gift to make a friend's day brighter.  On the other hand, this project may just be too gorgeous to give away!

Chicago CHA Update #10 - My Mind's Eye and Ranger

Welcome to day 10 of my CHA Update. Today we will be looking at two mainstays of the industry My Mind's Eye and Ranger.

My Mind's Eye
Coming off their successful Winter release "Lost and Found" My Mind's Eye debuted two new "Lost and Found" collections at the show, "Lost and Found Christmas" and "Lost and Found Two". They also showcased a fun Halloween line they call "Mischievous."

Ranger
I know this seems sacrilegious, but I don't remember spending time at the Ranger booth in previous shows. When we were walking past, Tim Holtz was demoing so I stopped and took his picture and then moseyed around the booth. I really don't think you get a sense of Tim Holtz's popularity until you see grown women and buisness owners mob him for his autograph while he is trying to work. He was very polite, and I was quite impressed with the manner in which he engaged his fans and customers.
