I'm back from the family cottage where I was for a week with my mom. Like usual I did some sun printing on white cotton fabric so I'll have some items to sell at Fibre Fling next spring. Here's a photo of some fabric in the sun with the plants on them. I first paint the fabric and then put the plant materials on them usually with some pickling salt.
Here are some of the results on the line afterwards. The paint dries more quickly around the plant material than under it so it leaves a print where the paint is pulled away.
Here's a close up below of one of the pieces that I quite like. You can see that the background was also monoprinted before I applied my colour.
Here's my work station where I did my painting. I was lucky that we had several days of sunny weather. I hope to have some more opportunities this summer to paint outside.
Thanks for having a look!
