Sun Printing
Guest: LuAnn Kessi
I am sun printing……with a quilt in mind.
This photo album cover is my inspiration!
Prints…..drying in the back yard:
I use foam core boards to paint the fabric and
transport it out into the sunshine to dry.
Here are the results of my day:
Wooden letters made a great resist…
Ferns, Oak Leaves, Maple Leaves…
Queen Anne's Lace
I plan to use these sun prints in a Quilt...
The potential Quilt is hanging on the line!
Botanicals covered with paint…
Time to Clean Up:
I hope you get busy with paints and fabrics
and spend the day in the sunshine!
I am really curious to know how you got the Queen Annes Lace to flatten out and stay on the fabric to give you a good print! These all look beautiful and I'm sure the quilt you make will be gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWhat great deep colors. That is something I have trouble with -- getting the colors so deep.
ReplyDeleteSigh. Love yours so much.

fabulous...
ReplyDeleteand a note about the Pebeo paints..apparently they are reducing their line of transparent paints(so I am going to buy a whackload of it).
How do you get such brilliant colours? Mine usually are much paler.
great! They'll make a fab quilt!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt project!
ReplyDeleteColors are GREAT!!! So vibrant!!!
