Sun Printing By LuAnn Kessi Part 2



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!

  1. 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!
