My next “deadline project” is started…just barely. I have the picture in my head of what I want to do, but I keep adding to it whenever I close my eyes. I’m afraid to doze off for fear that it might grow beyond my capacity!
In my mind, the background of my piece is covered in writing. There is fabric out there that has text printed on it, but none of it seemed quite right. My friend Gayle loaned me some alphabet stamps and stencils and she had the perfect stamp!
It’s called Fantasy Script and here’s what it looks like stamped on the fabric.
I love the little sponge roller brushes for putting paint on the stamp and I use cheap cutting mats for paint palettes. Makes clean up a snap!
There was just a bit of paint left on the palette after the fantasy writing was done, so I put another bit of lettering on a scrap of my hand dye.
This project is looking like such a lot of fun already. Can’t wait to get back at it!
Linking this to Off the Wall Friday–lots of other blogs to check out there, too!

I had to go buy white paint, so you KNOW I never think of white, either. But my brain was processing contrary ideas, so that’s the direction we went! I’m excited about finishing this one!

Adding your own ‘writing’ to the fabric is the perfect touch…..you won’t be sorry you took the time!!!

I definitely wanted to have my own writing on this piece. And just seeing the fabric makes me happy!

Taking advantage of teachers I know to learn a bit of painting has been a good move! I’m loving it!

Often it’s the leftover paint that makes the best prints – something that will find an unexpected use later…

I find that so often with my mop up cloth with dyeing! But I’m a little stingy with the paint, so I don’t have as much unexpected delight yet!

Terrific! What kind of paint are you using?

I try to use paint from USArtquest–fewer chemicals and softer hand to the fabric. I have other various brands of acrylics that I’m trying to use up if I need to!
