I never thought of sun printing with black! WOW! Really nice results...actually, each one is quite nice but I'm really liking the black prints!
ReplyDeleteHi Robbie,
ReplyDeleteI am always dyeing and painting with very colorful jewel tones, which make me happy. My fabric cupboards are full of them. So....I am trying to use black as well as adding black to all of my colors to dirty them and grunge them up a bit....they may work for my abstract quilts. We will see if they end up in any of my future compositions.
My Best To You,
LuAnn
love the grass prints - would love to have some in multiple colors -
ReplyDeleteLove the ostrich and cheese cloth ones, so textural.
ReplyDeleteThe grass prints are my favorites, but they are all so pretty.
ReplyDeleteSo when are you planning to sell your beautiful fabrics, hmmmm?? Most of us don't have the space to create our own and/or the botanicals around our homes are so limited compared to yours! Love them all! I want to learn how to make all of these!
