I’m visiting the Craft & Hobby Association’s Winter Conference and Trade Show this week and there’s so much to see and do! Connecting in person with so many designers, resellers, and manufacturing colleagues is always such a treat. This show just oozes creativity and inspiration—from sewing to quilting to knitting to papercrafts to scrapbooking to mixed media to kids’ crafts—there is something here for everyone.

Rebekah Meier and I demo-ed at the R&M Distributors booth, showing off a very cool new art surface that we are releasing this April called mul•tex™. And we were so delighted to see that everyone loved it!

Rebekah has done some gorgeous work with mul•tex, it’s such a versatile surface. You can paint and stamp on it, stitch through it, distress it, fuse it to fabric or paper. It’s translucent and looks quite delicate, but it’s actually tear-resistant. It has a lovely mulberry tissue texture on one side, with a glossy coating on the other side. We’ll be sharing lots of great project ideas and tutorials using mul•tex here on the blog next month – watch for it!

We gave folks a sneak peek of Rebekah’s new sequel book, also coming out in April, More Fabric Art Collage. Get your own sneak peek—click here for the Flickr gallery.

The show lasts a couple more days…I’ll be taking lots of pictures of the people, the products, and the booths to share with you soon!
