Recent Monoprints on Fabric

I used a foam padding with plastic on top as the printing plate, spread my paints, pressed some texture plates, added dried leaves and laid the fabric on top.

Usually I use my wonderful gelli plate but wanted to try out a Pinterest idea and voila these gems, if I say so myself!   Now all I have to do is design something!

More Monotypes

 I was planning on layering this one but I kind of like them the way they are.

 Above is the first layer. Below is the second layer.

 This one is the one on the above left - I didn't like the white so spray painted it.

 The images below are ones with two or more layers.

Surface Design Work

Getting ready for my surface design classes I'm offering at my local art association www.islandart.org this Fall.  Monoprinting, screenprinting, stampmaking.

Nature printed Fabric Accordion Books

I know, I know, so many entries all in one day.  All these projects: the journal, the 4x6's and these books were all going at once.  I've just finished them all.

I redid a past book as I did not like the result.  Much happier now!
The second one makes use of previous monoprinted fabric.  Both with favorite quotes about leaves, trees, and nature - a current obsession.  I'll be taking them to the Nature Printing Society Workshop as well.

I'll be teaching "Boot Camp for Leaf Printing on Fabric."
