This is done on white fabric with Pebeo Setacolor Soleil paint. I put a quilting grid stencil over top of the painted fabric and then put it out in the sun. The object on the right was a potato masher.
The other 2 pieces I’ve brought in from outside didn’t print as well. Well, one of them had sprinkles of salt on it, and the salt didn’t do much. I didn’t have any rock salt, which would have worked better. Even without any printing showing up, the fabric is much prettier than when it started….
I’ve got a piece of Tyvek out there still, plus some other pieces. Even if they don’t turn out all that great, it’s definitely given me some ideas for future experimentation!
Hi Suzanne, I like the sun print but I really love the writing on fabric. That’s one of my favorite techniques and I’ve meant to try it for a while. It always looks so wonderfully antique even if it’s not. I must try this soon. It’s so appealing when Deborah Boschert uses it-I can’t wait to see what you do with yours. Thanks for stopping by and for the nice comment. I’m appreciating the weather as well.
This looks like so much fun! I must try it the next time it’s offered!
I have seen some wonderful sun painting using leaves. Yours turned out well. I’d like to try it when the weather here gets a bit warmer.
Did you write on the fabric or was it already printed? It reminds me of Lonni Rossi fabric by Andover.
