Painting results


Yesterday I added a little more paint to some fabric that already had been partially painted and dried. Here's how the wet paint moved around. Above is the wet fabric, and below is how it looked today after it dried and was ironed. I actually like it better when it was wet and darker.


Again, the next two photos show wet fabric and dried and ironed fabric. I used Setacolor and Dye-Na-Flow, which both dry lighter.




This morning it snowed! Remember that award-winning book, "Snow Falling On Cedars," which took place in the Puget Sound? That is exactly what was going on this morning.


 Have a colorful day

Love your experiments... I wonder why they are not staying bright. What fiber is the fabric? I seem to remember having good luck with dye-na-flow and Jacquard Textile paints on cotton, but haven't tried ribbon yet.
Look at you, with all that snow coming down! We're due for some here today, along with nasty winds, but at least we'll get some moisture.
