This is actually two separate prints that I sewed together and then quilted up using free motion stitching. I think there could be a lot of room for further development of this printing technique. I still haven't tried it with thickened procion dyes but that is next on the agenda. I am wondering if the dyes will stain the print plate.
I'll give it a try and get back to you.....
The colours in this are beautifully subtle. I must try gelatin printing with fabric paints. I've only tried acrylics so far. Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteI am quite happy with how the textile paints performed. And they don't stain the plate at all (I used the gelatin/glycerin plate I made earlier). I have yet to try them with the gelli-arts plate. But soon!!
ReplyDeleteI like how you've created texture with both stitch and paint, and I really get a sense of how your art and stitch skills have come together - like the pears! I am interested to see how the thickened dye prints turn out!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Yvonne. I'll certainly keep you posted!
DeleteWhat LOVELY work, Marny! Pears have definitely become a strong motif in your work. I love how you've translated them inti your gelli plate prints. Wonderful everything that you're doing. You must be out of your rut,
