Over the weekend I mucked about with the shaving cream technique and thought I'd take a few in-process pictures to share (for further information be sure to see THIS post)...
This shows the shaving cream spread out on plastic (don't forget that step!!!!)
You can (hopefully) see the paint spread over the cream....
Here, it's been scraped using a plastic 12" ruler, removing the shaving cream/paint goop as much as possible. Be sure there's a garbage bag and a spare pair of hands nearby! This piece was done using wet fabric and the colours are quite muted (at least when still wet).
Below you can see (click to embiggen) the end results. The piece of fabric on the top was done using dry fabric and the one below was with the fabric moist. The colours are more saturated using dry fabric. Sorry about the wrinkles but it still needs to be washed again before I press it really well. For now this is pressed to set the colour.
- THIS is a fun idea for a quilt (scroll down to see the full version)
- You might want to check THIS out because she's starting a year that sounds like great fun for us all.
- THIS looks like something that would be very useful to many of us.
- I looked at THESE and had a moment where I thought how much fun it would be to do one. And then I remembered I have noplace to put it and that moment left in a hurry. I would love to make a sewing/knitting shop with living quarters above. And if our granddaughter lived closer (or shipping costs weren't out of this world), think of the fun I could have.

It's surprising how much room miniatures take up. Also the materials you need to make them!
ReplyDeleteI know about adding another 'thing' to my already overflowing sewing room. I won't succumb (I don't think!) but it surely would be fun.
