ScratchFoam!  Easy and fun.  I'm using the last piece I printed and am stitching on it to create a little quilty. 

This is the plate prior to printing with it.  I doodled a Zentangle-like overall design.

Here is that last piece that I printed laid out with some paint and colors of #12 Finca perle cotton.  As you'll see I didn't use all of the colors of paint or the perle cotton and in fact added a bunch of purples in the perle cotton since I didn't want to only work in the yellow/red/orange color range.

I've added paint around the white dots, in the scallops, and around the triangles...

After layering the fabric with a backing and batting... and with some stitching completed.  That's a chain stitch running through the meandering diagonal line.  The first of the purple perle cotton appears in the running stitch in the triangles.

I also stitched around the painted circles.  I used a thread that didn't contrast strongly with the background so you can't see them well at this point, but there is a plan...

Once I added two additional stitched circles around the original, lighter one, the pattern created was a little more obvious.  I used a buttonhole stitch around the scallops and used a dark purple thread for the straight stitches on the left side of the diagonal diving line.

This is the piece so far.  There's a lot of stitching still to be done and many (many!) beads that will need to be added too.

This is a plate that Jess created.  She sketched the design on paper first, then used the sketch to press the design into the ScratchFoam. 

Here's what the plate looks like when it's been printed.

These are just a few of the things that can be done with ScratchFoam, some paint, glazing medium, paper, fabric, and a brayer.  I hope you're inspired to try and expand your creative comfort zone.  This really is easy!
