I have a wonderful group of friends ... we get together to celebrate birthdays and experiment with new art products and techniques. This is a catch up post!
SUNPRINTING ... always fun to splash on the paint and create a unique fabric.
FOILING ... this is easier than it looks: use tacky glue designed for foiling, apply glue to areas that you want to be foiled, allow to dry to tacky. Place foil on fabric with colour side up and press with the edge of the iron.
I loved the process ... so many ways to use this technique!
TISSUE PAPER ... we tried this on fabric treated with soda ash. I think it would work better with paper collage and guesso. We placed ripped/cut bits of tissue on white fabric and waited for the colour to run from the tissue. It created quite bright colours. Unfortunately, the colour was not very permanent. My results were pastel. However, we had lots of fun!
MONOPRINTING ... always a surprise! We had a lovely April Day! Again this is easier than it looks: spread paint on a surface, place fabric on top, smoosh fabric and lift carefully.
Alternate: you can also use a roller to get even amount of paint.
Stencils, positive and negative image can be used when you add the paint to the surface.
The paint should be thick, not watery.
So many ways to make unique fabric!
