Hello!

I love to dye fabric, make thread pictures and quilt. I live in the Yukon on an acreage with my husband, 2 dogs and 34 fish. It's the 'good' life.

Contemporary Landscape

One of the classes I am teaching (actually tomorrow), is a landscape. It uses mixed media techniques such as hand painted fabric, paper towel mountains, wrapping paper lakes and thread trees.

Here is the process I use to make the fabric:

Once the paint is spread on the table, I carefully place a piece of fabric over it and gently press it into the paint.

  4. I finished the class a few hours ago and it was good but exhausting! Everyone loved painting the paper towel the best. LOL

    Wish you had been able to come and play with us today! :-)
