Here are the fruits of my labor - lots of hammering and stamping with fabric paint. |
I started with a piece of fabric that I had stamped earlier with thickened dyes. My tools are in order so let the pounding begin! |
This is what's left of my pounded fern. |
I wanted to try stamping the sticks and stones to see what would happen. The stick was predictable but I wondered what would happen if I mixed beach sand with the paint. |
Holding the stone in my hand I pressed and rolled the stone onto the fabric. Once the sandy paint dried it had an interesting and thick texture. |
Have you tried pounding natural materials to create a design? Please share! |
Hi Carol- This is SO very cool....I want to run out and try it!
ReplyDeleteCool - send pics!
ReplyDeleteGreat results. Do you think it is permanent? Can it be washed?
ReplyDeleteI heat set the fabric and will hope for the best. I assume it will be a more delicate fabric :) I included it in a wall hanging so we shall see!
DeletePlanning on doing this with my nieces with close monitoring of hammers.
