Hello. That's another one finished, I think. I say I think because I'm not so sure that the frame is right, but it will stay like this for the time being. I found a frame yesterday at a charity shop for £1, which was the exact size I needed. It's a metallic gold and there isn't a mark on it.
And this is the piece of fabric before I started. It's quite thick, like a heavy curtain fabric. Some of the colours only needed one coat, some two coats.
The bad weather is here, snow this morning though it was gone within an hour of falling. It's still windy and cold. I might do the yellow sticker dash tonight, if I can be bothered. Need to fill the car with petrol as well.
Thanks for popping in, the weekend is here, enjoy, we'll catch up soon.

It's lovely,Ilona! Reminds me a great deal of the Peter Max artworks of the sixties and seventies... Bravo!
ReplyDeletepretty Ilona. have you thought of Free machine quilting it as well? Its just I love FMQ
ReplyDeleteHi. I am not very good at free machining. The paint has hardened, putting it through a machine would crack it. It's behind glass so quilting would be flattened.
DeleteAnother brilliant idea, would never have thought it would look so good. On my to try list, thankyou for sharing - Tam
ReplyDeleteLove it, Ilona. And I do think that black for the frame makes the colours 'pop'.
ReplyDeleteGosh you are so creative.
ReplyDeleteThey are rather good aren't they?.....in fact they're much better than some commercially available bollix I saw recently. I mean really, much better.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of The Beatles. I love it.
ReplyDeleteOMG yuu are right. Very yellow submarine. lol.
DeleteNow that is clever! I'm not good at art so that really appeals! It looks amazing Ilona

Thank you Jane. Find a piece of fabric with a few markings on it and use them as a starter. You can modify as you go, paint over small areas to make them bigger, paint out the bits you don't want to keep, add other doodles. Maybe find a frame first and cut the fabric a bit bigger, paint to the edges to seal them. Heavier fabric is best, not cotton. If the paint sits on the top and does not spread evenly, thin with a drop of water. Not too wet though or it will make the fabric soggy and you will need a second coat. Have a go.
Deletei like what you did with fabric. Good idea. I have so many photos to print out. That's the lesser of the prices. I get them matted and framed costs nearly $40! Sigh but I'm building my gallery in the living room...my dream! When I'm gone, then family and friends can pick through them and have them for memories!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely very eye-catching x
