Sun Printing
Guest: LuAnn Kessi
Get out the brushes….let's sun print!
Alder Leaves and rock salt on painted fabric…
The leaves lay flat and made a great resist
The more contact your resist has with the fabric,
the better the sun print will be.
Tulip Curtain…
Here's the first peek…
This will be a FUN piece to machine quilt!
Sheer Curtain Panel as a resist…
Another FUN piece to machine quilt.
Cheesecloth as a resist…
Here's the first peek…
Cheesecloth works GREAT every time!
Rock Salt and Plastic Snowflakes…
Curtain Panel…
The curtain panels lay flat and always get great results!
Also, the hotter the day, the better the prints.
Plastic Wrap on Black Painted Fabric…
This makes a great landscape fabric…
rocks, mountains, pavement.
Botanicals I collected while out walking…
I hope I have inspired you just a bit…
Next time the sun shines…..get busy and sun print!
Wow! I am new to sun printing, and these posts have really opened my eyes. Now I need to buy more paint, as the test bottles I bought surely won't last me through the next sunny day!
ReplyDeleteLove the plastic wrap and the curtain the best!
ReplyDeleteThe cheesecloth piece, brilliant idea, thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas, LuAnn! I woke up this morning thinking about what I have on hand that I could use... and the sun is forecast for the coming days... time to get the paints and resists out!
