handprinted: a fabric swap II



Lately, I've been wanting to try my hand at printing my own fabric, so when I heard about the hand-printed fabric swap organized by Leslie over at Maze and Vale back in June, I immediately knew I wanted to participate.


After a bit of brainstorming, research, and experimenting, I settled on a simple triangle design.


I created a stamp using adhesive-backed foam and a plastic cap for the base and stamped away using black, aqua, and coral fabric paint. I made four fat quarters for my four swap partners.


I was super happy with the results of this experiment in fabric stamping---and only wish I'd made a fifth to keep for myself!


You can see the beautiful fabric I received in return here, here, and here.
