Fabric painting !

Well as i promised i want to share with you what i have been getting up to !  I had to buy a new laptop this week as mine totally died i was so upset as it was only 2 years old anyhow i decided to buy a mac book pro so i am on a learning curve with it at the moment so i am hoping i get this right !

I took a class on fabric painting with Maggie Vanderweit and it was amazing so much fun !! We used colour vie paints which are pure pigments mixed to a base so mixing colours is endless. Gunnel Hag was the creator of these paints and you can learn about them HERE  I played around with different surfaces and used bathmats,  bamboo table mats,  rubbing plates, stamps, bubble wrap, sequin waste  stencils and anything that had a raised texture and i love the results especially the pebble bath mat !  I will share more in the next day or so !
