Freezer Paper fabric printing

Here are the results of my latest experiment with Freezerpaper fabric printing.

printed on plain thin cotton

even works with quotes.

So how did i do it.

First i glued the freezer paper to a fairly thick sheet of photo paper, shiny side up.
I used Scotch photomount adhesive to stick it. left to dry a bit.

Then ironed the thin cotton fabric to the shiny side of the freezer paper, which is now attached to the photo paper.

When the printer started up, i gave it a little help, tomake sure it went through.

I have a really old canon i350 printer, and am not really worried if it does damage to it. I'm about ready for a new one.
So if you are worried about it effecting your printer, my advice is "don't print with fabric".

MAKE SURE that there are no fabric threads hanging, which may affect the printer.

One good thing about keeping the freezer paper permanently attached to photo paper, is that you can still use it over and over again. BRILL.


So what else have i been up to this week.
Back is still giving me chronic pain, and Sunday evening, a bloomin wasp crawled up the sleeve of my jumper and stung me, just below my armpit. It is still red and stinging, and have been advised to put vinegar on it. A medical professional advised it.

For MAMMA flickr group, the theme i have chosen this week is KLIMT.

So here is the one i've put in the swap

3 ages of woman

It is a copy of klimt's painting, mounted on mount board, which has been distressed using 3 different distress ink pads, then embossed with gold swirls..
The picture was then given a 3-d clear gloss finish. and silver and gold stickers adorn the edge.

Two wire swirls were then added to form a hanger.

Hope

This is a fabric ATC, and has not been put in the MAMMA swap, as i don't feel it is good enough.

The background fabric is Kaffe Fassett, with a Golden gel medium photo transfer fabric picture sewn on to plain white fabric with golden thread.
A gold pen was used to make the dots around the picture.

3 gold swirl sequins were attached to the top

I used quilt batting to fill the ATC after sewing a backing piece of white cotton.


Last but not least is my entry for New Inspirations Monthly Lottery, the theme being 'Make me Laugh".

Beauty

Well you know how much i love humour, and I WAS THE WINNER OF THE DRAW.
So this beauty stayed with me. I'm sure she'll find a home one day lol.

So, what will i be doing this week? Looks like i need to make more matryoshka dolls, as i've sold out of em,in my etsy shop, bar 2. suprised really.
So won't be doing much art i'm afraid, and the fabric book will be on hold.

THE RETURN OF ZETTIOLOGY

I expect we are all the same, artists that is, flitting from one thing to another.

Me, i go from shabby chic, to zettiology, to fabric art, and finding sooooooooooo much enjoyment in everything that i do.

So today, i just had to return to zettiology, to put a bit of fun back into my life. (still waiting for the bloomin freezer paper to arrive so i can start my fabric journal).

It was soooooo much fun, especially the researching for quotes. I just LOVE research, in fact in some ways i like it more than the actually making of art. But that's another story.

So here's the latest and I'm loving the quote.

PS no way am i mocking people with schizophrenia.

Rubber stamped Teesha Moore images which are then collaged onto Brusho background, and then coloured using Brush Marker pens, Zig Memory Pens and edding Colour pens.

Sharpie pens and souffle white pen were also used, along with photocopies of Andy warhol camouflage, and vintage Bingo card.

All on Mountboard 8.5" x 5.5"

I hope it makes you smile.

ATC's with a sense of humour

As i am still up to my neck in decorating and packing up for the Big Move, i have to resort to showing you my old work.

Today it's the turn of ATC's with a sense of humour.

There are some that i won't show, as there has been controversy over some of them already, lol.

ROYAL FLUSH

DARLING OF COURSE I'M NOT MARRIED


DIRTY BOY


DOES MY BUM LOOK BIG IN THIS


TOO LATE NOW


ROYAL THRONE


TIME GOES BY
SO SLOWLY


TOLD YOU NOT TO EAT THE SPROUTS


WHO ATE ALL THE PIES
(the burger swings like a pendulum)


WHY DO GIRLS ALWAYS
GO TO THE TOILET TOGETHER.

New Dolls

Here are the proto-types for 2 of the dolls i'm trying to design for myself.
By making them first, i can see what needs doing to fine tune them, and with hindsight would not have used the precious fabric on them. The geisha girl is made from fabric imported from Japan, and the Booby doll is Laura Ashley. Still you learn from your mistakes.

I've got some gorgeous Kaffe Fasset fabric, and will NOT be using that on a protype. LOL

Geisha Girl


Booby Doll,
Pamela Anderson eat your heart out LOL.

Like i said these are just proto-types, and need a fair bit of fine tuning.
My next painting is coming along slowly, so won't be revealed until next week. Another zetti of course.
