It’s time to start something new. I’m auditioning fabrics for possible use with a cyanotype print I did last year.
I shared the original printing of the oakleaf hydrangea here and the learning experience that came shortly after here. There is only one commercial fabric in what I pulled (fabrics on the right). Most have been created by me; the remaining are hand made by other fabric artists. I don’t have a specific plan right now — I’ll just have to start putting fabric on the wall and see what happens.
Love the oakleaf hydrangea fabric – gorgeous! =D
And I so enjoy making these prints! That’s silk fabric so it’s heavenly to work my thread painting on.
Like all your choices, sort of depends what you have in mind…
I’m going at this without a clear plan — unusual for me — so it will be an interesting process.
I can hardly wait to see your progression and final art piece. Thanks for sharing.
Me too Kay! 🙂
Sooo cool Franki! How awesome to be working with your own fabrics too!
Another new frontier for me.
I especially like the addition of the reddish fabric.
I can’t wait to use that fabric! It’s a beautiful wax batik from Ghana that I bought in Santa Fe. I promised the woman I bought it from that I’d share a photo with her when I use it.
You continue to amaze me.
I love the orange w/blue & the yellow w/orange dots! I know you’ll select the perfect one:)
I’m looking forward to this project as a cyanotype print tutorial! I’m purchasing a small supply from Blueprints on Fabric. When this arrives, the adventure begins. Thank you.
Oh Loretta, clear your calendar and get ready for fun. I buy all my pre-treated fabric from Blueprints on Fabric. You’ll be happy with the fabric and the customer service. Get back in touch to let me know how it goes.
