This is the project I started in a class with Bonnie McCaffery a couple of weeks ago. It's my first experience with painting on fabric so overall I am pleased that I completed it.
Here's a closeup. Bonnie's technique explained on her book, involved applying tule over the hair but I could not find the right type of tule to have the same effect, so the hair was applied down with invisible thread in a random pattern. I also used a metallic gold thread on the hair. On the border seam I inserted red sequins to give it a more glamours look.
One thing left to do is to label the quilt and come up with the name....Any suggestions ?
This week I received a much antecipated order from Hancock's of Paducah...
Noddy, also thought it was great ...
Its was a fabric cutter.... I got a couple of die sets.
Had a bit of a play with it.....
And ended up with these shapes...
Just to finish off , here is some words I look at each day in my studio....
Hey well done with the fabric painting! Looks fabulous - can't help you with a name though. Who is it of? I am looking forward to hearing what you think of the fabric cutter. I have been trying to decide if I need one and if they are worth buying or do they generate too much waste.
