Playing with Paint on fabric





Using my favorite foam chunky stamp - the pear - I've been stamping with black acrylic paint onto previously painted fabric. I heat set the paint, backed each with some white flannel and used running stitches to accent the boundries as well as around the images.  Now I'm just waiting for inspiration as to what to do with these.







This was my first experiment with acrylic paint on muslin. I used a home-made block stamp (an eraser covered with a rubber band). I also used rubbing plates and random painting. I overlayed with blocks of fabric, machine stitched into place. I plan to embellish with beads and other embroidery stitches and make a small wall hanging.
