I need more green fabric to finish the last two blocks for the color journal quilt. I painted some beige fabric that I already had with moss green Pebeo Setacolor Transparent fabric paint. I have been using this paint since the boys were very little. It is non-toxic and that was important as they were always close by. I still love to use this paint. I add some of the paint to a jar of water and then can keep what I don't use for later. A wide foam brush works well to apply to damp cotton fabric.
The paint will migrate to high points and edges - so interesting things can be done there. Folding will also create lovely effects.
Iron both sides of dry fabric on cotton setting to heat set.
Pebeo Setacolor is my favorite paint!
ReplyDeleteI have never had a need to try anything else. It always works great.
Deleteyes. green. please.
ReplyDeleteIt is soooo hard to wait.
Deleteoh this looks very interesting does the fabric stay soft with this paint?
ReplyDeleteYes, it usually does. The more paint that is used the stiffer the fabric will become, but as I use it, with the water added - it does very well. I can still hand stitch with it. I like to utilize the color of the cloth to add to the paint color rather than adding more paint, which also helps avoid the too much paint issue.
Deletecome over to my place for green, haha, don't forget to bring along an anorak as the greens are accomapnied by lots of the rain; btw love these results!
ReplyDeleteWe will be trading melting snow and ice for mud and green soon enough (I hope).
