This first piece is a dot painting using the end of a paint brush on white cotton base cloth.
The second piece is a rabbit playdough cutter potato print on cotton sand coloured basecloth. Blogged here.
The third piece is a dot print using a 'magnadoodle' magnet. I brushed the paint onto the magnet - you can see the strokes.
My last piece is a peg painting. It reminds me a bit of Rashida Coleman Hale's washi fabric.
I was excited to try the textile medium pictured above. I found it at Spotlight and combined it with acrylic paint to create fabric paint. All my handprinted pieces have been washed since printing and the paints have come up really well. The textile medium means you can make up any colour you wish. You mix it a ratio of two parts paint to one part medium, so it goes a long way. It was $13 per bottle which is a lot more economical than buying a small pot of fabric paint at $9 a pot.
My next installment of the Hanprinted fabric swap will be showing you what I received...I will be eagerly checking the mail box over the next couple of weeks!
