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
