4 different techniques today!



Nancy Bryant is leading the

Wet cotton is placed over the pleated foil






Dye Na Flow paints are applied 

with a foam brush...






and an eye dropper






Nancy applies a spray of water 

to help the paint migrate




Samples of Pleated & Painted Fabrics:


















Next Up is....Shaving Cream Printing:


LuAnn Kessi demonstrates 

Shaving Cream Printing






Dye Na Flow paints are applied to the 

shave cream then different tools are used to 

work the paint across the surface






Guest Instructor, Shirley, assists in placing the 

fabric on top of the shaving cream





Shirley gently pats the fabric down 

to make the print






You can view the print before you 

remove the fabric






The fabric is pulled off of the shave cream






The shave cream is scraped away






Finished print just needs to dry




The next technique is tie, roll, fold dyeing:


Instructor Kathi Borrego demonstrates






Several different methods of 

tying, folding and rolling






Dye Na Flow is dripped onto the fabrics




Our last technique is Scrunch and Paint


LuAnn Kessi demonstrates this technique





Setacolors by Pebeo are applied to the fabric






The wet fabric is scrunched together

Holograms......in Fabric





The Art Sisters are playing with

Holograms



Our holographic images are created in fabric





We hammered the wooden stretcher bars 

together to form the frames...






We cut the borders for the images...











Here is Kathi's nest of eggs hologram







When you view it at an angle,

you can appreciate the holographic effect.







Virginia is creating a hologram from an image

of Morning Glory Pool in Yellowstone Park.






I am working on a Grackle bird

I have been following Judy's blog for many years.

She was so generous to allow me to use her image.

Thanks Judy!





Nancy is creating a hologram from an image of

Baby Barn Swallows






Piecing the borders onto the fabric images






The borders are wrapped around the 

wooden frame






It is FUN to get the tools out and put a little

elbow grease into it!






The back is finished with black felt

and a label
















These are samples for our upcoming P2P class
