And this is how I create the mystery fabric of last Friday. I started with a wet white fabric and crunched this.
If you want to you can iron it with all the creases, but that is not compulsary.
Place a screen on it.
And apply paint with a squeegee.
Remove the screen and let the paint dry.
When you unfold the fabric, it looks like this:
I repeated this process several times with different colors of paint. Just like Kelly I do not like white backgrounds, so the final step was a ice dye with different colors of procion dye.
And the winner of this fabric is: Silkworks922. Please send an email with your contactinfo to: wil@wilopiooguta.com. I am moving house this week and will be without internet access for maybe a week. Don't think I am ignoring your comments or questions, I will answer when I am back on line.
cool!
ReplyDeleteClever, Wil! I will have to try that... maybe use one of my ugly fabrics to see if I can save it1
ReplyDeleteLove it!!
ReplyDeleteHi guys! Wil is without internet until the 23rd (ARGGHHH!!) But I will try to keep up with responses for her in her absense!
ReplyDeleteI love this technique as well. And Judy, I think it would be a great way to "revive" a less than stellar fabric!! Would love to see your results when you try it!
Very interesting!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great even after the first step. You rock!
