Tim Holtz's September tag features a "cool industrial faux riveted metal look" that has been part of his recent class "Heart & Soul" as well as shown in his 2nd Compendium of Curiosities book. His tutorials are clear and concise; his photos and videos easy to understand.
Every time I see this technique I immediately think of a crazy quilt and all the different stitching techniques that can be found around the fabric patches. I tried to replicate the look of the crazy quilt by using sewing stitches around my metal tape pieces. A little bit of faux lace at the edge adds a nice border.
