Painted Prints

Last weekend I spent my Sunday stamping 6 inch squares with one of my carved stamps. I am so used to using fabrics with a lot of color so I decided these pretty, but plain prints needed a touch of color. So each square was painted with a different color combo. I love how they turned out. The next step is to figure out what to do with them. I thought about a bag, but I am not sure how colorfast the stamp ink is (I wouldn't want it rubbing off on someones white sweater). Do you think a journal or maybe an art quilt would be pretty? Tell me what you think. I'd love your ideas!

My Beautiful Brayer

I have a new favorite tool. My Brayer. It is so fun to use, but even more amazing is its ability to patina. It naturally gets the look I am going for as I paint my fabrics. Try as I may, none of my projects ever turn out as stunning as my chipping splattered brayer.

New Creations

I did it! I tried something new. I have been so inspired lately that I finally went out to Micheals, bought a whole bunch of paint and supplies and then went to town on some of my fabric scraps. I had so much fun painting. I told myself that it may not turn out just like I imagined, but not to be discouraged...to just go for it and have fun. So I did. I painted and stamped; I sewed and I cut; I just went for it and in the process I churned out a few cuffs and a clutch. I enjoyed every moment and can't wait to make more!
