Hey girl...what a fun-looking workshop..Especially loved the Halloween buckets with paint...So was this all fabric paint or dye? And if it was paint...you can use the ice cubes with paint?!-Julie
ReplyDeleteIt was fun for sure - a great group of experimenters! Once you cover the fabric surface with paint, scrunch and place in the hot sun. Drop random ice cubes on the fabric and let the sun melt them. As the ice cube melts the paint is pushed around leaving a cool pattern once it's dried - give it a try!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol. Work with Setacolor so knew about the sun printing. But really great to find out about using the ice cubes with paint. Thanks so much! Let me know if you are popping down to the DC area in the future.
DeleteI can feel the creative vibes from here! Very inspiring, and I love the bit about ice cubes... may have to give that a whirl, and I thought of several items I could use for creating texture patterns. Thanks for the inspiration!
