And the winner of the Twitter Fabric Friday Poll is … drum roll, please … hand painted silk.
I sun-painted this silk with Pebeo Setacolor transparent paints, then over-painted freehand doodles with Jacquard Lumiere metallic paint. It’s really easy and fun to do … now that June gloom is finally over, I think I will go outside and sun-paint some more!

(You don’t actually HAVE to go outside in the sun to sun-paint, I’ve heard that you can sun-paint indoors using a lamp. It just doesn’t seem right to me to sun-paint without the sun.)
