Plan B…

So the other week I posted this picture of my plan for printing bicycle fabric…..  the following day I mixed up my colors and got ready to have grand time making a huge mess (there’s no not messy way to splatter paint)

But within an hour of finishing painting i realized this was not working out……lol

I had diluted my paint too much and it all seeped through the bicycle shaped stickers totally ruining my plan..ah!

and so the first thing i did was sit down with a bowl full of cookie dough and ponder what plan b was gonna be…..you know, cookie dough makes almost anything better : )

I decided I would leave the stickers on and use them as a guide to stitch the bicycle outline on top of the splatter paint….and you know what?  I really like how this turned out…maybe even better than my original plan…

they got zigzag wheels and I really like it : )

I wish i would have taken more pictures of the splatter painting process but it was super messy and I didn’t want to get paint on my camera…..I had a green thumb for the next 2 days! LOL

Hope you’ve all be having a great week!

I’m making some new stuff cuz I’m getting ready to do Peacefest next weekend.  Last week I got myself all
ready to print my fabric, I carved stamps and tested them out…and then….well my patterns just didn’t look as good on fabric as they did on paper so I started playing around, mixing colors….and having fun : )

I made this fun and messy pattern by rolling the corks in ink and then on the fabric…..as you can see super messy but lots of fun
