Surface Design w Betty Busby
Welcome to my new techniques class!
We’ll cover multiple new ways of expressing ourselves on fabric.
Transfer printing: we’ll use non-toxic dye (provided by me) to transfer designs from paper to synthetic materials, using heat.
It’s a very different way of creating designs, as compositions can be created on dry paper with collage techniques.
A huge variety of synthetic materials can be used, including sheers.
Also, botanicals can be used with fantastic results, matching or exceeding results achieved through eco printing. Post production: learn how to use various media such as gel pens, markers, and colored pencils, to enhance your stitching after quilting.
Watercolor techniques on fabric: We’ll use fabric paints on cotton to achieve similar effects of watercolor paint on paper, only it is permanent. These can make a great base for hand or machine stitching.
