I have been painting on fabric for more than 20 years. I make my own stencils, one for each color and for every detail in my composition. I use oil and dry brush technique to create an airbrushed look. I also use acrylic paint and work with as many different kinds of fabric as possible. I love doing applique of painted fabric or paper in my items. It gives them additional depth and always looks festive. For the final decorating I use a unique and rarely used technique of applying paint through a very small hole in a wax paper bag called "foontick"to create an imitation of embroidery. You can see examples of my work below. Please visit other pages to see more photos. |
