Stencils and spray paint ~ easy fun
As you're reading this, I'm in Italy, teaching a workshop in Orvieto.
I prepared these muslin bags for my students, to hold their watercolor supplies. Can you tell I had fun? I used Tulip Fabric Spray paint, and stencils from Stencil Girl, Artist Cellar and Interweave.
And I really should give a shout out to my friend, Linda Blinn, who started me on the stencil spree a few years ago. She's also got a DVD, Make it Graphic on the subject.
I spray painted my cotton bathrobe too, to jazz it up, but it's grey and ended up looking like a paint rag. That's why you're not seeing a photo of it.
(I'm in Italy, teaching, so I've scheduled these posts while I'm traveling.)

Wow! These are great! Wonder how it would work with slightly thickened dyes?

I didn't know they had fabric spray paint. Is the feel of it better than a normal spray paint, I would guess it would be more durable.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post. I'm glad I found your blog.
