Printed Fabric Bee – May Edition

Thursday, June 4th, 2015

May’s Queen Bee was Leslie Tucker Jenison. She asked us to do prints with found objects in neutrals with a pop of color.

I picked a hand-dyed gray fabric from my stash and started by printing a black grid with this vinyl grid, used to line shelves, etc. (I think.)

I have a package of felt dots for putting on objects to prevent scratches on furniture and wood floors. I used it to print black dots.

I then used a metal scrubbie to add some pink paint.

I thought I would share the wonderful group of fabrics I received for my geometry theme. Each one is 12 inches square.

I love them all. I am sure they will be part of my work in the future.

I can’t seem to keep up with blogging lately. End of the month is a busy time for me with my SDA job. We had a busy week-end and I have not been in the studio.

I finally went in and got a cortisone shot in my bum knee. I am now aware of how much it was affecting my quality of life. The cortisone really kicked in today and I feel like a new woman. Wish I had done it long ago.
