Fabric Painting A Faery Top
June 18th, 2016
My two previous posts (1 & 2) were of fabric painted shell tops, these were made because I had the paints out for this project.
Not really sure what we wanted to paint on I just went with how I felt, sometimes this can be risky but I think the outcome was just about ok with this one.
As before I drew pictures on with a fabric pen (this washes off)
Then I coloured them in
Not sure if you can tell in the picture (click to make it bigger) but I used some of the green ‘drawing / writing paint’ with the blue paint to make the colours of the butterfly’s fade blue-green a little.
I can’t wait to see this in action, I made it for peregrine’s nest who has made some other items to go with this (including HUGE wings!!)
