This month we'll be working with applying paint and colour to a range of fusible web and interfacing products and doing some really strange and crazy things with them.
This is
not your grandmothers fusible web! Join me while I show you how to
combine paint, powders and foils with a variety of fusible webs and
interfacings to create texture, layering and pattern.
Learn ways to apply metallic foil for hints of sparkly shine or areas of
glitz and glimmer. After
cutting, tearing and ripping some of the pieces then time will be spent on
building layers of interest with collage and stitch.
Here are some supplies you will need:
You will need:
·
2-3
fat quarters of fabric, light to medium value with texture or subtle print.
Hand dyes or batiks work well. use these as colour inspirations for the
background of your art piece.
·
one
fat quarter muslin for backing
·
one yard paper backed fusible web (NOT Heat and
Bond), buy a couple different varieties if they are available
·
1/2
yard each of any variety of fusible and non fusible, woven or non woven
interfacings and stabilizers. Try for different weights, maybe even different
colours, some are available in black and beige. Avoid the nylon tricot ones.
·
plastic
to cover your table
·
paper
towels
·
three
1" bristle paint brushes
·
plastic
cups for water
·
primary
colours (red, blue, yellow) and black of Jacquard Dye-na-Flow™ or Setacolour
Silk paints. The heavier textile paints can be thinned down for use as well.
Now I have a short little video where you'll get to see me and I'll explain a little more about the supplies and you can see the painted effects. Don't pay attention to the workshop blurb at the end, as I have a surprise for you later on this month!
