Kraft-Tex is a new paper from C&T Publishing that has the
appearance of thick card with qualities of leather and fabric in
that it is robust, can be stitched and cut and has a soft feel to
it. It looks a bit like Grungepaper but without the rough, recycled
and compressed feel to it. It can be used like card for mixed-media
work but because it can be stitched into, this opens up more
possibilities for making bags or quilts, or using for applique and
cutwork. It comes in five colours – White, Black, Stone, Natural
and Chocolate. I used the Chocolate and Stone to make a book cover.
I used the Scan'n'Cut machine to cut out the shapes of a simplified
outline of an ammonite from both pieces of Kraft-Tex (below left).
Then I inserted the Chocolate pieces into the Stone outline (below
middle) before backing the sheet onto a piece of Decovil to give it
stability. Finally, I stitched the large ammonite pieces into
place.
