- Joyce Teng: Good morning.
I will say thank you for everybody come here
for my first lecture for this show.
And this year is really wonderful year for me.
My name is Joyce,
and this is my third edition of my book.
This is my tenth year with the fiber arts.
I'm with the Houston International Quilt Show
for over 20, 30 years,
from my paper arts, rubber stamp,
to metal embossing template
for card-making, for scrapbooking.
And this is my tenth year.
I transfer, become fiber artist today.
I will say thank you
to Houston International Quilt Show.
Every year, their show, the grand-prize winner,
you know, over $10,000, the quilt.
Hanging over there.
Every year, I visit all the quilt display.
I cry because every single quilt is so pretty.
And this American tradition.
And plus I am-- myself, I'm a pharmacist.
I taught in the medical school.
But my hobby become my business today.
Was my hobby since I was little.
I love every single thing's beauty.
The beauty is very important for me.
Everything in my eyes pretty, include everybody--
I have a capability.
Anybody, I meet you, over 10 minutes,
I can find a beauty of inner you.
That's me.
So my hobby become my business
because Houston International Quilt Show.
And I'm a mixed media person.
So today's-- Actually today's subject,
you see on your note, is Fabric Mania.
Okay, I think not everybody crazy like me,
but we have a lot of people.
We love fabric.
We love, you know, all the fabric.
And then this year I present here,
I will show you all the possibility.
Use my stencil.
There's my-- Oh, next?
Okay, sorry.
Next subject you will see here.
I say everything, all the fabric you see,
every single pattern, quilt,
your apparel, and your craft project.
There are two elements.
Construction, construct your fabric.
First one is pattern or design.
You can see real thing here.
I try to bring as many sample I could.
You see all the sample here, including yourself.
Look at your T-shirt, your apparel.
Everything has two construction, two elements in there.
First one is a pattern or design.
Second one is color.
So you can see I have a sample here, a pattern.
And about pattern, I will show...
use my stencil because TSC Designs.
I'm a stencil company.
So I bring my stencil.
Every single patterned quilt sample here or apparel
done with my template.
Only 2% is not from my template.
One is this one.
Did you see the first one on the most left there?
See the tree, birch tree, feather?
Those done by the art brush.
So this was not from my template.
Directly you're drawing, painting with art brush, okay?
And those brush, you can-- I just heard last week.
One lady talked to me, say, "I'm not an artist.
I'm just, you know, in between."
Bring a decorate painter to quilting
and bring quilter to decorate painting.
I'm ambassador in between those two groups.
So the lady last week told me
the brush is better use acrylic paint.
So that sample done with my ink.
But I will tell you, last week, she showed,
"Joyce, better use acrylic paint for those kind of brush."
So those brush, if you use on the fabric.
If you don't mind, you don't wash out.
You don't want to wash your art quilt.
You can use an acrylic pen, okay?
Next one, you see the middle one.
There's another technique.
This my new technique.
This year, year 2024,
is my tenth year with fiber arts.
And I'm so blessed.
This year's my most achievement, most exciting year.
I have a couple, my follower over here.
If you follow me, you know every year
I will release one new project, one new technique.
But start last year, because my health--
I'm closer 80 year old.
Three more years, I be 80 year old.
And I feel my physical, my memory,
especially my memory I feel from last year.
I decide I release as much as I could.
So today you will see, I put on a note.
I don't know you have note.
I see the PowerPoint.
I released about 12 to 13,
which include my number 10, my new technique.
My new technique here this year, I promise you.
Because you're my follower.
You know, we are stencil company.
We do dabbing for stencil, right, create a pattern.
This year, I have a new invention I call collage.
And that will be my last one I share with you.
My newest collage stencil technique.
And another technique here.
Did you see this birch tree?
By the way, I love tree.
If you see my stencil design,
I love tree, love flower, love leaf.
Because I can stay in front of the tree.
I can enjoy the beauty of tree for 30 minutes.
I can see the light, the shade, everything.
I can stand 30 minutes, enjoy the beauty of a tree.
So look at this birch tree.
I love birch tree.
Do you like this color?
See the color?
This now created from my stencil.
This created with my shaving cream technique.
Collage, okay.
So, by the way, I come here, I will share with you.
Today's lecture's not really detail about technique.
Technique, later, you can take my class.
I play a video next year, okay?
You will learn that.
Today, release all light.
Open your mind.
This morning, when I wake up, you know what?
I will change my subtitle for this lecture.
We have Alice in Wonderland.
Now I change my title to "Joyce in the Tsukineko Land."
Okay, my name is Joyce.
Now, next one, we talk about color.
Color, we use Tsukineko ink.
This is my major present today.
Because I use Tsukineko ink.
And when you use Tsukineko ink, do all your painting project.
You ask yourself, you need to ask yourself.
There's two elements for you.
First one, I will say.
First part, medium.
Because so far, I bring five medium here, okay?
So, when you use Tsukineko ink, this water based,
so you can mix with all kinds of different mediums.
At this moment, I will have four additional medium.
So what kind of medium you are use mixed with your ink?
Next question, ask yourself, what applicator?
What's the tool you apply your ink with medium?
So those two questions before you start with your use of ink
and which technique.
Ask yourself those two basic questions.
So you understand.
So today's lecture, I give very brief outline,
very brief outline to learn all those basic concepts.
Later, have your inner artist, inner of you.
Release your inner artist in you to create your own project.
Okay, so, next.
Here, medium and my tool, okay.
The tool, I bring more than that.
So I have two tools here.
I just show you here.
This is our marbling tool.
This is my husband's invention.
So, everything, you can detach, you can take apart.
This multiple tool, see here?
Have a nice different tip there.
You can unscrew, change the tip, change the, you know, change...
Put it inside there.
So this is nice tip.
And I do all my marbling with this tool.
And let me show you next one, okay.
And water brush I show next, okay.
See, now, before I show you my technique,
ask yourself why we use Tsukineko ink.
Everybody come here today
for coloring the fabric, for craft your fabric.
So I use Tsukineko ink.
Before we start it, you need to ask ourselves,
why there are so many fabric ink,
fabric pen in the market?
Why we use Tsukineko ink.
At this moment, I finally have a nice reason.
Okay, I organize.
First, most important one.
Because we are-- My book first.
I teach TSC Design, which means Teacher Stamps Company.
So we major dealing with the schools.
Special with the-- I mean, handicapped kids.
My sense of business with a special ed teacher.
You see those handicapped kids, they have no arm,
sometime no hand, no finger.
They use their foot.
They do dabbing.
Who invent this tool in Japan?
I have this tool.
Everybody know about dabber, right?
If you get... Jumbo dabber, small dabber.
Who invent this in Japan?
For me is Nobel Prize winner.
Before these two sponge, you apply the ink to the stencil.
We use makeup tip.
We try use all kind of tool.
But it is very firm, no tilt.
So this is the best.
After invented, all the handicapped kids can enjoy that.
Because I have handicapped kids in my family.
So this is a wonderful tool.
And next one, child-safe and very important.
You can see Tsukineko ink called all-purpose ink.
What all-purpose ink means?
It means every single ink here can work on any porous surface.
P-O-R-O-U-S.
Sorry, I have a stroke, 2014, in Paducah AQS show.
So it damage my language area.
I cannot pronounce "R" sound.
So if I say anything you don't understand, raise your hand.
I can repeat.
But I'm so happy at PBS, Tina.
Thank you for producer Tina.
She told me later this video have captioning on it.
So they will do editing at that time,
anything I don't pronounce right.
I'm Chinese, if I have a accent.
But later you see the real video.
You will understand what I mean.
So all-purpose ink,
which means you work on any kind of porous--
See, porous surface.
Can you pronounce that?
[laughs] Porous surface.
So what does that mean?
From paper.
I have all the sample in my booth here.
From paper to wood to leather to gourd.
Last month, I was in Arizona.
There's a national gourd convention there.
And I have group, gourd lady, man come to my booth.
I say, "Oh, you make a gourd."
I know I have customer make the gourd.
I say, "Try this metallic color."
I told them, "Try this metallic color."
You know what?
They go home, use this metallic, try on their gourd.
Their gourd for $100,
after decorate with metallic, become $300 apiece.
So gorgeous, just another part of art.
Sorry, I don't have much time.
Otherwise, I will make some gourd to show you, okay.
Okay, so this is porous.
And we didn't talk about fabric.
Quilters here, you know, we are fiber artists here.
So everything-- You ask me, what kind of fabric you can use.
So far, I have all the challenge.
Everybody bring the fabric to me.
None of them it doesn't work.
Every single fabric, Tsukineko ink can work on top, okay?
You can see my silk sample here.
See, from silk.
Actually, if you can...
I'd be glad to pass this out to all the students here.
The reason, you feel that.
This silk's made from 100% silk.
It's 15 momme weight.
And this plain white on white.
See, white on white.
And I use my spray formula
create all the silk, all the color.
Today you see every single-- my sample here.
Most of them, I do color spray first.
And I will release.
This is my newest medium, rubbing alcohol, okay?
So this a sample.
How about you, Marla, you pass to everybody?
Touch the fabric.
This 100% silk.
It doesn't change texture.
So this very, very important reason for us pick up this ink.
You don't want to change your texture, right?
In the market, there's a lot of wonderful fabric pen.
But the problem, you see,
the texture cannot compare this, okay?
This second reason.
And soft touch, third reason.
Number four, washable.
Yes, very important.
When we use any ink, any dye, any fabric thing,
ask yourself how many times
you can wash your quilt, your fabric, okay?
Two times, ten times.
Tsukineko ink, you can wash 100 times.
Colors still there.
And even you don't think about you can bleach that.
End of January, my husband will try bleach some of our ink.
It doesn't work.
But only one request.
Please write a note.
This note, number one.
When you play with the Tsukineko ink,
I always ask you to heat set.
The reason because Tsukineko ink is a pigment, right?
It's very fine, molecular.
So they use a polymer, chemical polymer combined.
So after a polymer binding with your pigment,
and they will interweaving after it heat set.
Will interweave with your fiber, which cause permanent.
It's not just on the top of your fabric.
You're interweaving with your fiber.
So which cause permanent, okay?
So do heat set.
Myself, at every single layer I color or spray, I use--
I don't use iron.
Quilter has so much patience.
You put iron, put a protection cloth on the top iron.
I just use my best tool, best buddy: blow dryer.
So I always have a blow dryer there, I blow-dry.
About less than a minute, it heat set, okay?
But you can tell I speak fast,
I think fast, everything fast, fast, fast.
So even I do my shaving cream project in my class,
all the quilter.
I say, "Flatten shaving cream."
For me, 30 seconds, done.
For them, two minutes to three minutes.
Everybody like doing cement work.
Squeeze, like perfect cement work.
Perfect, smooth.
So you can make much more pretty pattern,
anything better than I do.
I have another confession to you.
Every single sample here, I don't make by myself.
I'm most clumsy person in the world.
So today I can stand in front of you,
present this technique.
It's kind of really encouragement for you.
Because I was adopted,
all my brother, sister-- we have a choir in our family.
So I can sing, okay?
But rest of them, they can play ping-pong,
play tennis, and play piano,
and they can do all kinds of drawing.
I'm the only one sit over there.
I cannot do anything! [audience chuckles]
So frustrated.
But, fortunately, I have such wonderful creative idea.
So I'm here, really encourage you.
The most clumsy person.
All my sewing skills is 606.
You know 404, 505, right?
404 for my adhesive for my template to the fabric.
505 for your quilt sandwich.
And 606 for me.
I spray 606 spray.
High-temperature iron that.
And they were permanent stitch.
That's my sewing skill.
So every single sample here, I designed the color
and from my stencil, ideas from me.
And how somebody, a lot of my friend
and a professional longarm quilter making all my sample.
No matter who did that,
it never lost my most important thing, the beauty.
So you see, every single of my sample,
I never sacrificed the beauty of my sample, okay?
So I share with you.
So now, what's washable?
Oh, heat set, or they say permanent.
And, by the way, very good.
Everybody ask me, "Do I need to pre-wash your fabric
before you jump to do this?"
You don't have pre-wash.
And you don't have buy the PTF, pre-treated fabric, either.
Okay, number seven, oh, great.
A lot of scrapbooker here.
By the way, if you go to New York Metropolitan Museum,
see, there's a big king-size kimono present over there.
That piece over there, over a thousand years.
So today, this Tsukineko ink from Japan
has been in Japan--
You know, kimono market over a thousand years.
So this is acid-free.
And color-fast and water-based.
So it's water-based.
So give you a wonderful, wonderful opportunity.
It's water-based.
So any watercolor technique, you can apply this ink, right?
So this is very fundamentally very good ink for us to play.
And color, oh.
This last one is my personal reason.
I enjoy color.
Everything in my eye, the first thing is color.
So Tsukineko is color-focused ink.
They have 39 non-metallic color.
They have six metallic color.
And I will suggest anybody--
If you don't use any ink do any project,
at least buy one jar ink, which is Champagne Mist.
This ink, shimmery ink, can make every single color shimmery.
Oh, I don't wear my-- You can see my sample.
Okay, I'll go to my booth.
I didn't wear my apron.
So this ink, just need add water and you do spray.
See, that piece is my embroidery, harder.
You can see frosty white on the top.
By the way, I welcome you to take a picture of my sample.
I want you to learn every possibility how to use this ink.
Okay, so this is the last reason.
Color-focused.
So here, you can see all workstation color fabric.
By the way, there's two products for this project.
One's ink, one's marker.
Have you heard about Fabrico marker?
Just treat it like a Sharpie marker.
Any Sharpie marker can play.
Use the Fabrico marker.
And this is my color chart.
So here there's six Fabrico marker set
from lightest color,
Victorian lady color, and primary color,
and bold color, and landscaping dark color.
Any color doesn't belong to those five groups.
I will say weird color is number six.
So you can use every single color, coordinate with your ink.
And this year, I bring new technique.
But I think-- I don't know.
I don't want to tell manufacturer.
You know what?
There's no white marker.
Did you see Tsukineko ink?
Doesn't have a white marker.
Doesn't have metallic marker, right?
So we will create one.
How?
I think I just show you right now.
Very easy, okay.
See, this is the Tsukineko applicator.
I just say the second meeting.
You need to ask yourself, what's applicator?
So every single sample here,
you need to know what's the medium for that
and what's applicator, okay?
So later, you have any questions, you can ask me.
Basic from these two elements for all my sample.
So these are Tsukineko ink.
They come out with three packets.
Different size, the same theory.
When Tsukineko design their tool
exactly like what they design their Fabrico marker.
Each marker have two end.
One is a brush tip, like brush tip, okay.
One is the bullet tip, round tip.
So brush tip, you treat like a brush.
Like blending the color, brush.
A bullet tip, you can sign your name, right, with bullet tip,
or you do the color in the middle, okay.
Later, every single tool--
I have individual package.
Show you how to do in a sample, okay?
Right now, I give you a very brief idea.
So use is fantastic.
And you dip your ink.
So you can dip in the white ink, create a white marker, right?
You can dip this in the metallic ink.
You can create a metallic color, you know?
So this will open your world for use marker.
And with my marker, with all the color.
And that's what-- Later, I'll show you.
I think I have three big breakthrough this year.
One is how to use Fantastic, color your fabric.
Before, I have a dream for Houston show.
Ten year ago, I have a dream.
I say, my creator, I say, "Is it possible
give Joyce a piece of white fabric?"
At that time, I didn't think of any colored fabric.
I just want a piece of white fabric.
Can I make a pattern?
Can I make a color?
Sure, a pattern from what?
From my stencil, right?
And color from what?
From Tsukineko ink.
So that time, it was a dream.
Give Joyce a piece of white fabric.
Now, 10 years later, this year's special.
This year is my big-- I'm so happy this year
because this year, I can do color from white fabric,
white-on-white fabric.
I have all the sample here.
And this year, I colored the color fabric.
You know, all the color fabric.
So who will take my next--
Today, I have three classes.
Every day, I have one class.
I told all my students,
"Bring a piece of challenging fabric,"
which means ugly fabric
or which fabric you bring from your UFO project.
Or some quilter designer, I saw her video.
She called "husband bin fabric."
You know what I mean?
So any fabric you have, old or ugly.
You don't know.
You have lots, lots scrap fabric, I know.
By the way, all the lady here, I will say,
American lady, you are so blessed.
We're sitting here, enjoy this lecture,
enjoy the quilting.
Everybody before, I don't know.
Later, I know why.
They have one longarm machine.
Next day, they have two.
The other one say three.
Oh, like husband collect car.
[audience laughs] So how blessed we are, you know?
There's one thing.
In the meantime, I give you a challenge.
People come here not just for present.
I'm Chinese, but I'm an American citizen now.
I love beauty, I enjoy quilting.
I think American quilting is the most beautiful as our heritage.
But I really worry about something, one thing.
Look our age, you know, on the floor.
Wisconsin show, a lot of young people here, okay?
It's different, a lot of young fiber artists here.
But regular show, you're on the floor,
you see all gray hair.
You can tell our age.
We will go.
One day, we'll be bye-bye, right?
Who will take care,
take over this beautiful American heritage, quilt, right?
So that's why I have two challenge for you.
First one, my personal, my company,
we sponsor a lot of young people, young generation,
including the lady make my PowerPoint.
I really worry to death.
I don't know anything about PowerPoint.
In three weeks, I present here.
You know, God sent me an angel.
A week before Madison show, I met a young girl.
She finished purchasing.
She say, "Xie xie."
I said, "Oh, how you know your Chinese?"
She said Chinese "thank you," you know?
And so make my attention, and we have a chat.
Oh, she's a wonderful, young generation.
Do all the funky things
that even you don't know what's going on on the Internet
and what, even, I don't know, TikTok.
She showed me what they are doing,
what convention they're going, da-da-da.
I said, "Wow, this is my market."
Okay, anyway, so she's computer.
She helped me do this here last night.
See how beautiful present here from this young generation?
So, after I taking care of everybody here on the floor,
I will start making funky things for our next generation.
We do need new blood, right?
Next challenge for you is--
This year, I will see revolution.
After I finish all my lecture, you can see.
You can use any fabric, the one existing.
But don't tell my store friend.
Or my fabric store friend will kill me.
"Joyce, [laughs] all the fabric."
But if you use large pieces, you're go ahead to buy, okay?
Mine's for art quilt, for something fun.
I will show you later.
So I called it revolution.
After this class, think about, you know,
from inner side of you, understand the concept.
Create your own fabric, go with your quilting.
Because I'm no quilter.
Last year, I was here.
I sit in the lunchroom.
The lady showed me her winning piece-- Bargello.
I love Bargello pattern.
And she showed me the back of the quilt.
It opened the door for me.
And that's what I like present here.
So, you know, Bargello have about 10 to 12 or 13, 14 or 36.
I see some people use 36 different fabric, make pattern.
And their pattern-- She showed me the back.
I understand.
Have all the number.
Number one, number two, fabric, all different.
And finally make a Bargello.
So last week, I talked to one of my friends.
She make AQS winner's quilt.
It's a Bargello.
I was so excited.
I said, "Oh, we can work together.
"You show me how many fabric you want.
I will take care of those fabric and you make a quilt yourself."
So this the same challenge, same revolution for you.
I think next year, I will make more--
See, all my stuff, no quilt block.
I don't like traditional block.
But now I changed my mind.
But even older, you know, a log cabin or Ohio star.
Those are very basic.
For me, too mechanic; I don't like.
But now, I give it new life
because I will create their fabric.
So use the fabric you create, do your quilt pattern.
Is that wonderful?
Give yourself applause.
I think it's wonderful, wonderful idea, okay.
So, next, let me go to next, this product, okay.
Now we talk about ten techniques, okay?
I just make quick.
Use shaving cream background.
By the way, if anybody haven't seen
my husband demo for shaving cream,
raise your hand. - Attendee 1: I have.
- Oh, only, oh.
80% haven't, okay, oh.
Please go to my booth.
I'm the 100 aisle, the first aisle, the first booth.
Please go there, see the basic, basic,
basic shaving cream marble with the ink, okay?
There's much to see.
Otherwise, you have no idea what I build up on top of that.
So this shaving-cream background, look at there.
See the giraffe, see the flower?
Those I use my mushroom tip.
I use my mushroom tip creator.
See here?
Those are all created with mushroom tip.
I create a border, okay?
So see how many possibilities you can use my tool.
So this is shaving cream background.
With shaving cream, create a border or sashing.
So, technique one.
Technique two.
Look at my marble pattern.
This book, I will publish next year.
I have Turkish, Chinese, Japanese, French, Russian.
I have all different country.
The marble pattern with my marbling tool.
I just show you, I use this tool.
I have nine different tip, create all the marble pattern.
And here only one color.
By the way, I like bold color.
You can see all this very bright color.
Think about yourself.
You have your color preference,
the pastel color or landscaping color.
See how many patterns you create for your fabric,
for your quilting later.
Good idea.
This is my marble, okay, marble background.
Number three, applying color to dark fabric.
Okay, simple.
Here, you can look at here.
Dark-colored fabric.
And this is my new fabric I call patina fabric.
When I was in COVID, I created a whole fabric.
Okay, see, I use a metallic color.
Applicator is a sponge.
I have a wonderful...
Anyway, sorry.
I have a art sponge in my booth, okay?
I use sponge, create all this very organic pattern.
Okay, and this one, I especially need...
Show you this piece.
This piece is in memory of Nancy Zieman.
Nancy interview me before she passed away.
Two years before she passed.
She interviewed me in her booth on the TV show
only for five minutes, but every viewer call me.
This beautiful piece.
She cannot believe it.
Even myself, when I first make this border, the sashing,
did you see that part?
I cannot it believe myself, either.
You can make such a beautiful fabric out.
How?
By the way, when you use the ink,
try to make your own color library and write it down.
Otherwise, you will forget the formula yourself.
So here I use a frosty white with the lightest pink color.
Using sponge, create that border color.
Later, I will donate this in memory of Nancy in her library.
Okay, she is a wonderful mentor for me.
Oh, this is one piece.
Okay, dark-colored fabric.
All the detail I will mention in my class or later in my video
because the color-- when you want color
on top of metallic color,
you need use number 14, mint green.
Create a green color.
You need to use number 33, rose pink.
Create a pink color.
Red color, okay, there's a formula.
So next one, spray color.
Oh, this is most easy project.
I wish everybody go home to try.
2014 is my big year for me.
I have a stroke in April,
but November, I have two big breakthrough.
One is, before, I mix my ink.
Always mix with what, water, right?
So now, I don't know what's the reason.
I mix with either 70% or 91% rubbing alcohol.
I personally love 91% because it evaporate faster.
And that's me-- fast.
So you can use 70%, okay?
70% rubbing alcohol mixed with your ink.
The portion is in my book, okay?
The formula is in my book.
And anyway, if you like it, you come to my booth.
I probably let you take a picture, okay.
What's the formula there?
In my class, you will practice there.
Oh, by the way, very important, write the note.
For you, metallic ink, you don't mix with alcohol.
Will deposit.
Metallic ink, you need to mix with water only, okay?
Note second, write a second note.
Okay, this spray, oh, spray.
I just showed the sample.
Where is-- I think I have that piece.
Can you pass that, my silk scarf here?
See the sample here?
The beauty of spray, why I love this formula,
nothing that easy.
You can create ombré color.
Do you see color?
You over-layer about two or three inches.
So nature.
You don't need to hang out in the yard, do all color.
This very nature, ombré color.
Gradient color come out.
So this is the beauty of spray, okay?
And then next one, I just mentioned.
I don't know you can see that clear or not.
I showed this particular sample because after I spray--
Did you see the white-on-white pattern?
Can you see the silver part?
I wish you can see the silver part.
Add the beauty of your touch-up of your design.
Use Fantastic.
That's what this year-- I have a lot of technique.
Use Fantastic.
I dip with the silver ink,
platinum ink, and outline of your pattern.
See how pretty.
Later, I wish you can take a detailed look.
So use this idea, you can highlighting your pattern.
Okay, so make a prettier quilt or pattern come out.
And this one is interesting.
I think I bring over here.
I like to share with you.
See, this whole bundle cost me $70 or $80.
I just buy the white, you know?
Past two year in the fabric market,
a lot of patterned fabric come out with white with texture.
Oh, they bring a big world for us.
See this white?
And then I spray.
See how pretty?
So I use all my ink.
By the way, you know the ink is water-based, right?
Watercolor.
You can mix, create a new color.
Think about how many color you can custom-make
for your quilt pattern.
So all here.
See all the color like a candy?
I created with my spray technique.
Okay, so these two things are special.
I want to share with you.
Okay, next.
Okay, stenciling.
Oh, stencils are my business, our stencil company.
So look at all this from my stencil,
from my pattern, all here,
from my stencil plus my inking technique, okay?
Number six, color white-on-white.
White-on-white fabric, I have a challenge.
Because somebody told me, "Quilter don't use
white-on-white on their quilting."
I don't know.
I need you help me to prove or tell me it's good.
Because white-on-white--
You can see all my white-on-white pattern.
See this piece?
I have so many things of white-on-white.
Let me see...
Here, see.
The fabric, all the sample, all is white-on-white.
After spray, you see the color, the pattern stand out.
And very interesting, I show later.
Number seven, discharging on dark-colored fabric.
Okay, see, this quilt, when I do the discharging--
I didn't bring with me because I flew in.
So I bring the medium.
Use Clorox, Soft Scrub with bleach.
Clorox with bleach, okay?
With a sea sponge.
The medium is Clorox with bleach.
Like, cleaning the bathroom, with a sea sponge.
I use Kona cotton fabric.
It's heavyweight fabric.
So that create a whole thing.
This is my butterfly and all my design.
One stencil create all the pattern.
And by the way,
after you take color out, can you add color back?
Okay, if you my student, you listen to my lecture.
Later I see your quilt work, I see your work.
If you just say one color there, I walk by.
I don't know you.
I will pretend I don't know you.
Because after you take all the note,
all classes, you at least enjoy color.
At least put two color there, right?
Like this one, I take color out.
Okay, I have a real simple here.
I use Kona cotton fabric.
See the brown color from black fabric
and with a discharge.
My butterfly, look at.
Do I add color back?
I add number 66, thyme green,
which is my favorite one of my favorite ink.
Create a whole piece.
Okay, so this is for discharge project.
Next one.
Number eight, oh, coloring lace.
Is that fun?
This all from my class.
Before, if you read my book,
first couple page, I colored the lace,
took me about an hour.
Use a brush, use color hue to color.
Took me one hour do that.
Now, three minutes by spray.
And the beauty of spray,
if you don't like color, you can respray.
So always have a square fabric or lace with you.
Try the color.
Until a color come out pretty, write it down.
Make your own color library, okay?
Go home and try that.
See, this is my lace classes.
I think it's beautiful.
And you can spray the front.
You can spray the back.
So you can-- So many try with a piece of lace.
This is my number eight.
Number nine.
This really amazing.
Look at this.
Did you see the black and white fabric there?
There's so many black and white fabric in the market.
Look after I colored.
Isn't it amazing?
Look at the color.
That's my favorite.
I-- This year's a couple of my favorite one.
See the color?
This is a real thing.
It's original, it's just a black and white.
So, if you take my class, you'll enjoy.
It's an unbelievable color come out.
Total change your fabric.
So that's why I say use your UFO project or husband bin
or your scrap fabric.
Modify, make it prettier.
Okay, next one is number nine.
Coloring fabric with Fabrico marker
or Fantastic Foam Tip by applying ink.
Yeah, see this have that beautiful set
of white T-shirt there.
See how many color there.
It's very hard, so detailed.
Hard to do the color.
So I use Fantastic fill-in color.
Especially if you-- Before my quilt start this year,
before any of my sample,
you can tell I don't do outline of the pattern.
When you finish your outline,
your pattern make a darker shade.
Use marker, darker color outline there.
Make whole thing pop out, okay?
Try to use that idea,
but don't do every single one with dark color shade.
Okay, just add the beauty.
And this is my embroidery.
See the embroidery?
I color everything.
This from BERNINA machine.
Number nine.
Coloring fabric-- The same thing.
Oh, can you see this one?
This is my top favorite this year.
It's unbelievable because there's so many fabric come out.
I can show the one piece.
You know, how many have this fabric?
Did you see those fabric pattern?
Right?
And you see big quilt made from this fabric.
And made by the color fabric.
Now you know what.
Spray.
White on white, right?
Hello, wake up. [laughs]
White on white and the spray.
See the total color.
So you can make your color now.
Okay, that's the basic idea how to spray.
And another thing I like.
I love ocean, I'm very excited.
I was in Miami Airport one bookstore three years ago.
I look at a book, had ocean, swimming pool color.
I want make the color.
And this year, I made it because my spray.
Look at this piece of fabric I spray.
See how pretty color?
Even you want do painting, drawing,
it hard for you to create color like that.
Use your spray or use a shaving cream.
Okay, so look at this.
This a little piece of my sample, but I show you.
Is it a pretty-- This is a ocean color.
There's no way I can do painting, drawing
in the two color like that.
I use this texture fabric and I spray.
So think about you can create landscaping color.
You can create a sunset color.
Get idea?
So from this spray from the shaving cream,
you can create any background landscape
in your fabric, making your quilt.
So this is my-- Okay, another favorite
I wish you can all-- the left one.
Did you see the left one?
The little bitty thing?
That's from piece of the same thing,
from piece of white fabric.
Did you see the background is white-on-white like that?
And after I spray, see the same thing.
I spray the color, create a color.
Do you see the little flower there?
Use Fantastic color.
Think about how many beautiful fabric
you'll create your own pattern.
Highlighting, totally make a difference.
Do you see the two piece different there?
That's what the purpose for this class, for this lecture.
I want you modify your own fabric with all my--
The pattern, you do your quilt pattern
with my sense of color with Tsukineko ink.
Okay, one of my customer, my student,
bought this from JOANN Fabric.
Did you see the most right one?
JOANN Fabric-- Before, it's nothing.
But after we color...
Especially if you can take detailed look at all line.
Did you see the petal on the left?
I used the frosty white.
Use a frosty white, outline the leaf,
and then, in the middle part, I use a copper.
Use round tip Fantastic, do it in the middle.
And then blend the color with orange, with apple green.
Okay, so this one idea.
And then, this is simple.
I don't know, I have probably not on my screen.
I just-- Actually, I'll show you.
When you talk about tool, I have one called aqua brush.
You use my-- Oh, here.
This one special, not just a brush.
I would call aqua brush.
But this one you can take apart, put water inside this reservoir.
And here it say push.
You push, continuous water's coming out
so you can do watercolor.
Instead of dip the ink-- dip a brush, the water continues.
Very smooth, cool water, so that's my--
Look at here, my ocean-- ocean odyssey.
Did you see those--
the ocean wave from this technique?
Okay, and by the way,
I'm the person, I don't like a very rigid pattern.
I like everything have free spirits, free mood.
I like watercolor, like my T-shirt here.
This, I can make it, okay.
In the future, I will teach you how to make the pattern color
like my T-shirt or my dress.
Here, the watercolor, you can draw in
or you can use my stencil,
and then use aqua brush, create blending, bleeding.
Make it like a watercolor.
So this is another tool I share with you.
And what other goody?
Okay, one--
Oh, here, my new technique, okay.
Number 10.
10A, new technique.
This what I promised you at the end of the presentation.
I will show you my new collage stencil.
See, this is my four season tree.
And those tree, traditional way,
we use my jumbo dabber dab ink to stencil, right.
Like my tree of life here.
Look at the tree.
This is traditional one with my dabber.
I put all the color.
By the way, four cat there.
Four cat here, I give you another idea.
Interrupt a minute.
When you do the stencil,
when you place my stencil, look at the whole template.
Don't just look, use the whole template,
make it one pattern.
Take different portion of the design, okay?
Like this cat, you make a cat like that.
So look at it over this stencil.
Can you tell?
And there'll be fur-- It's not here.
My other symbol, anyway.
Oh, I have-- Here.
Look at this set.
See the cat from one cat template.
But look at color, look at pattern.
Different-- How?
The color from inking, right?
But pattern from what?
From that stencil overlayer different stencil.
You do first cat stencil color
and take second piece, overlayer, do the color.
So I call overlayer.
So that's very important.
Where you place my template, don't just use one pattern.
You create your own, either by overlayer
or either by pick up part of the design.
Create your own pattern.
Okay, so this is how to use my template, okay.
Look at these four tree.
Look at the winter tree on the top right on the top.
This is my winter tree.
You can see I used stencil.
And you just create like a winter background.
I use a white and number 38, a blue.
Create a background.
And then, that's my tree.
Unfortunately, because my class, because of my new technique,
all the tree are totally sold out.
Even myself don't have any copy of that.
And that's by collage with the shaving cream with squeegee.
Okay, so this basic technique.
See, this is my collage tree.
See the pattern, okay.
This is my new technique.
And then we move to number 10A and 10B.
10B is very interesting.
Before, I never color my stencil.
I always use my stencil, do the dabbing, you know, dabbing.
And this year, look at all the sample here.
Is over there, too.
Look all this sample.
I never sell this template before,
but after this technique come out, every single of my stencil,
you do color with Fantastic, you know, outline with color.
You create like art piece.
Look at my gecko, isn't that fun?
So totally change the way I use my stencil.
Now, you can do dabbing stencil, right.
And then you can color, use that piece like your coloring book,
you color my stencil.
You can color your fabric and do trees, use collage.
And then I outline the edge.
Okay, the new technique I just show you,
my patina fabric with a sea sponge.
10D, new technique, okay, look at here.
Look at all my jacket.
This piece very interest.
Look at the first one, left.
That one created from my every single piece
of my shaving cream.
But we bought the cheapest muslin from JOANN.
They have 20% discount, so about a dollar a piece in our yard.
So I make that-- Every single we do shaving cream.
If you see my husband demo.
So every single piece later-- the lady make jacket.
See, this from my shaving cream
and from my stencil maple leaf and flower with my ink.
Creates such a beautiful jacket, and next one in the middle,
very classic.
I love classic thing.
Look at that very classic jacket with stencil.
Look, my blue jean.
This not-- This no funky one.
This just okay.
Not very funky for young kids, okay.
One day, I will wear the short blue jean,
show you how the funky style with my head
or stencil with my inking, with my template.
Okay, 10D, I think probably this is the last one.
Before I finish, I have a couple of minutes.
First, I want you come here.
You can forget what I present here,
but at least you need to learn two Japanese word,
because I call this Joyce Tsukineko world-- word.
Today we come here exploring the beauty adventure for that.
So everybody follow me.
We learn two Japanese word.
Tsuki neko.
Okay, Tsuki, like a vegetable, zucchini.
Change Z to T.
Neko, like girl's name Nicole.
Neko, not Nicole.
You accent-- neko.
So everybody follow me.
Tsu-ki-ne-ko. - Audience: Tsu-ki-ne-ko.
- One more time.
Tsu-ki-ne-ko. - Audience: Tsu-ki-ne-ko.
- One more time.
Tsu-ki-ne-ko. - Audience: Tsu-ki-ne-ko.
Good, you can speak two Japanese word.
What that means, okay.
Tsuki means moon.
Tsuki means moon, neko means cat.
Cat in the moon.
For the States-- Our country,
we have a cow in the moon.
My name is Joyce.
I'm not Japanese, I'm Chinese.
If you ask me what tsukineko means,
I say pig in the moon because I was born the Year of Pig.
So you can make up yourself, but you be careful.
A lot of Japanese lady came to Houston
or came to Paducah for the quilt show.
They are winner, beautiful quilt work.
If you have a real Japanese in front of you,
what tsukineko means?
What tsukineko means?
- Audience: Cat. - Cat in the moon, good.
You are not over 80 year old.
Two months I was in New England presentation there.
I asked all the lady, "Tsuki neko is cat in--
So happy, cat in the moon."
Two minutes later, I say, "What that means?"
They look at each other.
"Hey, what that means?"
So that is proof.
Wisconsin, this show here,
I say it is the most young generation
I ever seen for the show.
So I'm so happy have presentation here and join me.
And by the way, I recruit you
because I introduce you to Joyce Tsukineko Lane.
So you contribute yourself.
If you have any quilt thing, anything you want,
make a thing, share with me.
I really want all-- I wish all the quilter on the floor
can have one of my kit.
Okay, by the way,
appreciate your patience here to listen my hour presentation.
I have a little free gift share with you.
My booth is booth 100 and definitely see my husband demo.
Okay, here's a demo for the shaving cream.
Oh, by the way, I still have one minute.
Okay, I am not the one inventing shaving cream marble.
Trish Stuart, she is from Dallas area.
She invented.
I met her about 11 years ago
in Chicago International Quilt Show.
When she played that project in her booth,
I walked by, I said, "Trish, who will play that,
a messy project?"
I walked by without any minutes' attention.
But you never know.
Ten year later, I'm queen of shaving cream.
[audience laughs] 'Til today, 'til today,
I'm still playing with amazing Barbasol shaving cream.
By the way, get Barbasol.
Don't get any dollar store cheaper brand.
It's flat, okay.
So you just--
So I think-- Any question?
Yes.
- Attendee 2: I'm still not quite clear
how you use the shaving cream.
- Okay, so shaving, I told you this presentation here
give you the idea, the technique part.
Please go to my booth.
Especially you never see any shaving cream,
ever heard anything about it.
Go to my booth.
You will understand what amazing shaving cream can do.
My husband will demo show you the marble pattern
and the leftover shaving cream so you have an ink.
Don't throw it away.
Still use second part.
Your squeegee pick up and you can create tie-dye pattern.
Okay, and the last part,
still use leftover shaving cream with the ink over there.
Create a whole background fabric color.
So go to my booth, take a look at the real sample.
I will say thank you to Tina.
Thank you for Lynn for all the--
You know, Zack and Tommy helped make this one.
And I will say thank you to my friend,
make all my video, and thank you all my student.
Look at-- Marilyn's here.
Stand up.
She used shaving cream, create her T-shirt.
I say I don't know if she will wear T-shirt.
I will otherwise ask her to make a lighter color, see?
- Marilyn: I had to do it.
- 'Cause she's from Missouri, yeah.
- And do three at a time.
- Do three at a time?
Great. - Lay 'em down after--
- Yeah, we have a technique.
By the way, I have book available, too.
Okay, thank you.
Okay, let me mention the tool, the medium, water.
Right, like watercolor and the shaving cream and the alcohol.
By the way, 404, why I use 404.
We have-- When we work with the kids, right,
with special kid.
So use-- You have a lot of intricate designs
for your pattern or you work with a kid.
So when we do dabbing before 2014,
I always big challenge.
When we do stencil on the fabric,
bleeding, running, right?
Because this liquid-- water-based liquid ink.
So now, we use-- I suggest use this adhesive 404.
This is adhesive, not 505.
This will adhesive from plastic stencil to your fabric.
I will use this for my class, okay.
I will spray it on the back of your template.
One spray, you can repeat it, use about over 10 times.
Don't wash away right away, okay?
You will use for 10 times.
So this 404.
This not media, but it saves you.
Okay, aloe vera gel, okay.
Aloe, before 2014, I just told you we have big challenge,
how to prevent bleeding on the fabric, right?
At that time, we have no other choice.
We use a clear aloe vera gel, okay?
Before I use my dabber, pick out ink,
I use little-- pick out a little bit of clear aloe
and then do stencil.
But after 2014 November, I have another
wonderful tip share with you, okay?
When you use dabber, you do stencil,
before you pick up ink,
please pick up clean, clean shaving cream, okay?
Pick up clean shaving cream and then dab-dab it, smooth it,
get rid of excess shaving cream.
From here, pick up your ink.
Still dab, dab, cover the whole dabber.
So the shaving cream will act as a carrier.
Let your printing job smooth, easy, and pretty.
Okay, not the runny.
Another tip, I don't know how much time I have.
When I work on my studio, I go to dollar store,
buy the big poster board
and go to OfficeMax, laminate it.
So after you laminate your poster board,
that will be like your art palette.
Be this coating like, you know, same theory like a thermometer.
The mercury, right?
Mercury always come out the whole drop, no spread out.
The same theory.
So you drop an ink on that laminate board,
will be totally one or not spread out,
not bleed, runny, okay.
And always, when you play any of my project,
always put a piece of white napkin or baby wiper
or spray Windex.
By the way, 91% rubbing alcohol
is a very good cleaning agent for ink.
So put aside where you do dabbing, do any project,
dab, dab, clean, and go to dry piece of napkin.
Dry, dry, and then use next color.
Okay, thank you so much.
Thank you for your coming and sharing this.
Thank you.
