Fabric Paint Experiments
I was playing with fabric paint over the weekend and decided to do three little onesies featuring a bluebird, bumblebee and an owl. It was nice to spend the day working with different materials and textures. We will see how well they do once they get washed again.
A few tips that I can give you if you want to try it out:
1. pre-wash all fabric
2. make sure to use cardboard between the front and back panels
so that colors do not bleed through.
3. I used Martha Stewart's craft paint with fabric medium added.
I find its easy to fix mistakes with some water if they should occur.
4. Don't be scared.
This holds for painting on paper, fabric or anything else. Fear puts a damper on your design.
5. I did the bluebirds with a stamp I carved but the other two I did freehand. I thought doing it freehand would be a problem but I found that it turned out well and really was not an issue.

Outside my studio window, what this photo does not convey is the intense heat out there. Even the squirrels are curled up in their nests at midday ( I can see them from my window ) to escape the worst of it.

Commissions
Working on some commissions today. Here is a portion of one of them that was just completed.
There is a heat wave going through Pennsylvania at the moment so we are all doing our best to stay cool. All the studio fans are on high!
