This artcloth underwent a series of surface design processes: scrunched, dipped and dripped soy wax, discharged, silkscreened and desconstructed dyeing. But it's not finished yet!
Put two layers of the paper on top of your stamp and wet it carefully with your finger
Wait until it dries completely and peel it off
Find a background (in this case an ATC colored with tissue paper)
Paint with thick acrylics
Once dried, rub with metallic wax
It is the perfect texture to add some chunky stitches and beads.
"Valentine Doves"
I made this card for a nice lady who is celebrating her 8Oth birthday! The background motifs are flowers which I made from fabric and real dried "pansies" from my garden. Then I drew and colored the bird with watercolors.
I painted the background with dyes and the fish with transparent fabric paints
After I soaked the fabric with soda ash, I applied water-soluble resist paste with the help of a thermofax screen. I made the screen and imprinted words on it that relate to "fish" and put the same fish design from the front but in a different size. Then, after washing the fabric, I used the same screens but this time with fabric paints.
I sewed them in each side and in the back transferred, with iron-on transfer paper, my name and blog address.
These are two more ATCs:
Tomorrow we are celebrating three of my friends birthdays , two of them were born exactly the same day! We will go to the usual Chinese place, where we go every year for this occasion. This is one of the cards I made using newspaper and gesso for the background; then I transfered Happy Birthday words written in different languages from a transparency and the help of "matte medium gel" then I painted with watercolors the butterfly and stenciled the bamboo plant with oil sticks.
