Today is laundry day . . . and if you remember from my earlier 'Artist Studio Posts',
my artwork, painting (messy work) area is in my laundry room.
So instead of laundry day being a : (
it's a : )
because I can just hibernate in my laundry room all day and play.

Today I used one of my old rubber stamps that I had carved for another purpose, and used it to do rubbings on fabric. I mostly used Shiva Paintstiks, but also roller printed a few pieces with fabric paint.

All of the fabrics shown are from Robert Kaufman and they all coordinate or belong to Sandra Banava's, Whispering Woods collection.

As you can see . . . I have varied the colors of the paintstiks as well as the background fabric, which makes for an endless variety of outcomes. Some work better than others . . . but you have to try lots of things to find out what works for you.







Stay posted because I will be using some of these in bags I'll be creating with the Whispering Woods Collection from Sandra Banava!
