Freezer Paper...Resist
I pulled out a roll of freezer paper and
sliced it up with my rotary cutter...
This was FUN and relaxing!
I went to the fabric cupboard
and pulled out some hand dyes...
I ironed the freezer paper strips to
the hand dyes...
It was enjoyable to create patterns...
These are now ready to be over-painted...
I am using Speedball and Versatex
Screen Printing Inks
They leave the hand of the fabric soft.
I will roll the inks on with
foam rollers...
I mix purple and brown inks
to paint over this dusty lavender hand dye...
I mix purple and blue inks
to paint over this light blue hand dye...
I mix white, purple and blue inks
to paint over this light blue hand dye...
I mix white, purple and pink inks
to paint over this light blue hand dye...
After painting was done,
I put everything outside to dry in the sun...
I sat on the Cowboy's Roping Dummy
and peeled the freezer paper off
the painted fabrics...
Here comes the.....Show 'n Tell:
All that is left to do is
heat set the fabrics...
I am looking forward to using these
new surface design fabrics
in my abstract quilts.

Well I see you too have a great talent for quilting. Love these resists. Always wanted to try doing that and ice dying and so much more but there are choices I have to make with the time allotted so I choose to let others do all of that and purchase it instead.

Those turned out great - can't wait to see what you create with them.
ReplyDeleteLOVE all of them LuAnn! You have the BEST projects. I am going to have to play more and see what I come up with. Thanks for sharing these beautiful fabrics that you created.
ReplyDeleteLove, Love, Love! I use freezer paper stencils in my cutter, but never think of this simple way of making resists. Look like I'll be doing some of this soon. As always, thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteTalk about patience! I can see how relaxing it would be to cut up the freezer paper! Now if I don't have any hand work, while watching football, I'll have to keep that in mind.
ReplyDeleteYour pieces turned out quite nice. I really like the first one/brown..my favorite...well, the blue is nice too and so is.....oh, alright! I like them all!!
Great technique!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing fabrics!! I love watching you create these masterpieces...perhaps one day I'll be able to watch in person from start to finish - well, I'd rather have fun with you actually making the fabrics!
