When the going
gets
tough...
the tough get going....
OUTSIDE!!!!
I was about to call up Noah and hitch a ride with him,
taking my two sewing machines, two rotary cutters, two rulers,
Upstate NY was very soggy this week
but alas, the sun came out
and
and
just in the nick of time, too!
My studio was out of control, huh?
And where there is sun,
there is bound to be suntanning!!!!
Yes, I painted some fabrics and laid them out
plopped some goodies on top
and left them to bake!
Now...
I have
some fun fabrics
to play with
on those rainy days!!!
on those rainy days!!!
(That is, if I ever find a place to sit in my studio!)
And Bob....
this piece of sun dyed fabric can be YOURS....
if you leave me a comment
before Monday, September 12th at 6 PM EST!!!!
In the meantime,
I'll start digging out!
Sunprinting is so much fun! I love it, you did a great job. Can one of those lovlies live at my house?
ReplyDeleteit's 30 degrees outside and I'm getting visitors soon and my sewing space looks really, really bad and I should clean up, but I really want to sunprint like you. what do you use for the chemical reaction? and please pick me!
ReplyDeleteLisa, we're swamped here, too. What's up with all this upstate flooding? Yikes!
ReplyDeleteI love it that you had fun when the sun came out. Me? I stayed inside working on the new book. Not nearly as much fun and printing in the sun! You make such gorgeous fabric.
Your fabrics are fabulous! And the room...it's not going anywhere. Play outside while you can!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you got more sun than we did! It is very soggy down here in Maryland, too. 97 percent humidity, too. Gloomy! Your fabric is gorgeous, though, and I would love to try it!
ReplyDeleteYour posts are such fun! I see some tools in those prints .... will we see them again in a quilt? Nice prints!
ReplyDeleteThe scissors are awesome!
ReplyDeleteOnce, I laid on the bench and hung my head upside down off the end. As I looked around the big messy house upsidedown, I was pleasantly surprised how CLEAN everything looks that way (the big white ceiling became the floor!!) Haha!You should try that:)

I remember making sunprints on special paper with my kids when they were little. I love your fabric sunprints and would love to win one. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh my, what lovely fabrics! Thank you for thinking of those of us who don't know how to make it! I would love to win a piece. I was sad when you stopped blogging, and happy to discover that you had started up again. You are inspiring me to journal. Thanks!
