Fabric + Frescos = Fun

I had a sudden idea this afternoon about fabric and JoFY's new stamps for Paperartsy....and had to put it immediately into action.

I cut a piece of cotton fabric, and sprayed it with some watered down Fresco paint (about 75% water to paint) I used a mixture of Hey Pesto and Guacamole, and at the top of the fabric, a watered down Sky.

Then came the stamps, stamped in archival black.

 and a paintbrush! I spent quite a while trying to get some shading and depth of colour on the images, with varying degrees of success...

Truth be told, I really only like the leaves.

To finish it, I took a piece of thick cardboard, and spread some Ferro paste (Iron) around the edges, far enough in so that the fabric would hide the cardboard underneath.









Once the Ferro was dried, I fixed the fabric to the cardboard with some spray mount (taking it downstairs by the front door, to avoid the fumes in the living room).  Finally, I used some Treasure Gold to highlight some of the raised parts of the Ferro.  (I only have 3 of these, I used Aquamarine and Spanish Topaz because they kind of blend with the rest of the colours in the piece but ideally I would have used other colours!).

Hope you like it!
