Cotton + Silk Organza = Fun!


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!

  1. 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!
