At Vancouver on Canvas we now have an exiting new product for designers and crafters. It is
called Removable Adhesive Fabric and it is unlike anything I have ever
seen.
This material has the
texture and durability of cloth, but has a self-adhesive backing like
a sticker. It can be stuck on most surfaces, and even better, can be
removed and re-positioned without loosing it's stickiness. It is also
water resistant and very flexible, so it can be used to wrap around
corners.
Of course, the best
thing about this material is that it is receptive to the Giclee
process. It can be run though our fine art printers, so we can print
it with any image you can imagine in beautiful full colour.
One obvious idea for
this material that would be of interest to people designing beautiful
interiors is that they could be used to create wall decorations
similar to vinyl cuts. It could be a simple and original way to ad
interest to many surfaces. One creative customer is planning printing
some self-adhesive images and mounting them on old wake-boards for an
original display idea.
Businesses could also
make good use of this easy advertising solution. We have already had
an order a full fridge door sticker, with a beautiful full colour
image related to the organization’s philosophy. The great thing
about this material is that it can be used to turn any surface into
an opportunity for delivering a message.
There are also many
smaller projects that could be done with this material. It could be:
---Placed on the front
of a light fixture or lamp shade for a personalized back lit image.
---Made into stickers
to hand out in gift bags at events.
---Used for decorations
on computers and personal electronics.
But my favourite idea
comes from my own love of bookbinding. With this material it would be
easy to design and create custom cloth book covers – think the old
fashioned Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books, but in cloth! With a
little measuring and cropping, and some text, any journal, note book,
old, beloved hardback, or hand-bound book project can have custom
designed cover art! No gluing required! I for one can't wait to try
this, and I am exited to see
