I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE splashes of color - BIG splashes! With the cold and windy weather we are having I had visions of color bursts swimming in my head. Into the studio I went with a vague idea of how to get some color splashes onto fabric.
 |
| To create the colors splashes I layered 2 yards each of cotton and silk organza |
 |
| I inserted whiffle balls under the fabric |
 |
| Using Seta Color fabric paint I slathered it on! |
 |
| It takes a while to dry so be patient! |
 |
| This is a detail of the cotton fabric |
 |
| The paint makes a cool design when it mingles |
 |
| Here the silk organza is laying on top of the cotton. You can see it is a mirror image and ready to be turned into an interesting piece of art! |
 |
| This is the silk organza against a white design wall. It's very soft looking... what should it become? Any ideas! |
Such a great idea, it's been so cold that using dyes isn't an option yet. I'm probably going to get my paints out and try this!
