Never waste a sunny day in Western Oregon !
I pulled out the sun dyeing supplies...
Setacolor Textile Paints and lots of brushes...
Let's see where the day takes us...
Painted Fabrics drying in the sunshine...
This is a rug making grid on top of the wet paint...
This is what the fabric looks like after it has dried in the sunshine
The paints are sensitive to the sun.
The grid acted as a resist.
Fiddlehead Ferns on wet painted fabric...
Straight pins holding the ferns down firmly in place
The BIG Reveal...
The ferns left a very crisp and clear image
Plastic Cling Wrap on top of wet paint in the sunshine
The BIG Reveal...
Glad I tried the plastic....makes a great texture!
A curtain panel on top of the painted fabric...
Makes a great textured grid-like pattern
Queen Anne's Lace & Tansy Leaves
This one makes a rather 3-D image
I have lots more....but this post is getting way too long.
I will save the rest for another day...
