Kathy's Art Cloth

Round 1

Sunprinted w/Setacolor Textile Paints

Kathi's cloth was handed off to Virginia

Check out what she did to it:

Round 2

Virginia painted back over the top of Kathi's cloth w/setacolor paints, scrunched it up and put it outside in the winter sun to sunprint...

This definitely enhanced the fabric

Now on to my Art Cloth:

LuAnn's Art Cloth

White fabric painted with setacolor paints.

Fish netting, lace and crochet placed on top.

Then placed out into the sun to print...

Round 2

The swirly paper was Kathi's inspiration

Kathi created these stamps:

She glued string to wooden blocks to create a hand made stamp

Kathi practiced on this piece of fabric to be sure the stamps worked well.

This is Virginia's Art Cloth:

Round 2

Nancy created a plaid design on it

This is Nancy's process:

She taped over the top of the fabric to create a mask

She used all sizes of tape to keep it interesting

Then she stenciled over the top w/Textile Paints

Now onto Nancy's Art Cloth:

Round 2

Branches & Sprayed w/Tulip Textile Paint

Here is my process for Round 2 on Nancy's cloth:

The darker lines in Nancy's cloth made me think of trees...

So I went down to the river to look at the trees and brought back a few branches

I placed the branches on top of the fabric

I really liked this look...

I painted over the top of the entire piece with Tulip Textile Spray Paints

When I removed the branches it created this lovely surface design
