I almost forgot to post my Fabric Friday today. Continuing with the leaf theme, here’s my sun-painted silk. I used Pébéo Setacolor Transparent on China silk, with real leaves and little round pasta for the designs. Yes, it really is that pink. Not very autumnal but it makes a great scarf nonetheless.
Setacolor is a fantastic fabric paint. I love their colors and the silk comes out very soft. Check out the Pébéo website to find out more about Setacolor and how to use it for sun painting.
I’ve heard that you can sun paint inside with a bright light instead if it’s cloudy or the wind blows all your leaves or other stencils away, though I haven’t tried it indoors myself yet. It’s nice to know there are other options if you get inspired for a little sun painting but the sun won’t come out to play.
Wow, Laura, that is just fabulous! Interesting that it might be done indoors as well (it's fall and never going to stop blowing and raining here at the same time); I have an Ott Lite lamp, maybe that will work.
I love it! Good hint about the bright lights since winter is coming here and it won't likely work that well in sub-zero temps.
Yummy!
What a beautiful piece! I love it!
You sure have created some lovely leaf projects Laura- I just love the pretty colors of autumn but have never experimented with dyes.
I put a link in my newest post to yours because I am thinking it was your blog that did a tutorial for making a texture quilt to be use with people who have Alzheimers.
You have such a nice blog people should come to read it anyway. Thought you might like to know about the link.
Regards,
Anna
