More monoprinting with Jacquard Fabric Paints

I've been continuing to experiment with printing using the Jacquard Fabric paints and the gelatin plate I made during the class with Linda Germain.  And I am feeling a bit more satisfied with my results as I discover ways to get the look I am after.  But I do need to use some of the many prints I have developed along the way.  So I thought I would try stitching into one of them, just using an echo stitch around the main shapes.  Then I am going to try painting/rollering over the stitching using one of the techniques that Laura Kemshall uses....more on that later.



This is as far as I got yesterday and I'm hoping to get a bit more done today before I prepare the piece for painting over.  I'll show you some more of those steps as soon as I get them done!

I have some yard work to do and I am going to go for a walk later with my guy who is home now from his winter in India and who is adjusting to our time and our weather....definitely not as warm here he tells me.  Good thing, I say!!!

I'll be back.....

  1. I love that echo stitch round those delicate seed heads (cow parsley and teasles?). It's really most effective. I'll be fascinated to see what happens when you paint over the top.
    Winter in India sounds SO fascinating. I've never been and it's on my bucket list (but not my husband's so I might have to find a way of going solo!) ... I've heard tell that there are some excellent guided textile trips on offer ...

    1. Thanks, Margaret. I'll post the results no matter how they turn out!! It's just an exercise, I keep telling myself!
      Yes, my guy just loves India and has been 4 or 5 times now (a big place apparently!). Not on my bucket list, but I agree, the textile tours do sound interesting...

  3. Your echo stitching looks great ... very anxious to see what happens when you paint over it ?
