This
week I combined two favourites of mine - stamping onto fabric and stamping with
paint, appearing on a mini tote with stamps that are new to me, PaperArtsy
Everything Art stamps.
Supplies
Fresco Finish Paint - Lake Wanaka, Chalk, Little Black Dress, London Night
Sharpie Paint Pens – Black, White
Fabric
Medium
Extras:-
Re-cycled suede, calico, mini wooden craft spool for mark making
Instructions
- Wherever I’ve used clear Gesso or Frescos, I have mixed them with Fabric Medium.
Apply
clear Gesso to tote with foam brush. Once dry, apply Chalk, in a random fashion,
followed by Lake Wanaka. Also applying all paints to handles.
Dip end
of craft spool into Lake Wanaka and “stamp” onto one side of the tote, adding
dots with Little Black Dress into the centres. Once dry, apply Chalk and Lake
Wanaka as in step one, this pushes back the “stamping”.
Stamp
paint brush, with paint, onto tote. In surrounding areas stamp the abstract
design.
Onto
scraps of painted calico, stamp sentiment and abstract design, with paint. Do not adhere any of those to the tote for
the moment. Time to work on the rear of the tote.
Apply
Lake Wanaka to circles stamp, pushing back the stamping with paints. Stamp
abstract design. Add dots of white. Stamp abstract design onto a piece of
painted calico, layering to another piece of painted calico. With paint pen,
doodle a border.
To
complete tote, adhere a band of suede, stamped with design, around top edge of
tote. Onto front of tote, adhere the stamped panels prepared earlier,
scribbling a border around both panels. Stitch a button to the bag, grunging
(!) it up with some messy marks with the white pen.
The bag
is ready to be packed with your favourite supplies ready for some art time!
