A group of internet artists from all over the place who have decided to give each other a challenge every few weeks, on a theme chosen by each in turn. We have different ideas and styles, but share a love of textiles, and want to have some fun.

An Archi-textural Urn



After one heck of a lot of deliberation and changes of mind I finally found the perfect design for me to produce something quick and effective for my Challenge piece.

I printed this section of the design onto Lutradur, placed fabric behind it which is from the Stonehenge Collection by Northcott, outlined the shapes with rayon thread then painted a light layer of puff paint on the raised sections before zapping with the heat gun.  And here's the result...

I couldn't capture the exact colours but they are more of a pale aqua, pale pink and grey.  I think it does look better in the flesh though!

I havn't done much work with Lutradur so it's interesting to see how you've used it Angela. I didn't know you could use it with Puff Paint either so I've learned a lot :-)I like your interpretation.

Thanks Julie - I love working with it :o)

As with Julie, I haven't used Lutrador that much, but you have inspired me to explore its potential further. I think you started with a great image, then were able to focus down on the essence of it. Use the puff paint and heat gun on Lutrador has given a great aged effect to the image.

Thanks Kathryn...I've not used puff paint with Lutradur before so I was bit wary of what might happen, but it seems to have worked!
