In January I participated in a fabric painting workshop at the Textile Arts Center in Brooklyn. It was a frigid cold weekend and perfect for spending 16 hours indoors with muslin, Tinfix, and good conversation. The class was taught by the lovely Naomi of Fort Makers – her quilt paintings are amazing! We spent Saturday exploring with several different kinds of paint creating small studies, and on Sunday I painted a few designs on a larger scale. Someday I’ll turn these pieces into a quilt.
Your grey-black ombre chevrons are wonderful. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Cindi!
Very interesting post as well! I’d love to know if the paints are non-toxic.

Thanks Lon! Unfortunately Tinfix has some toxicity to it.
Ok, thanks for your honesty and getting back to me.

Hello! Love your blog! Just wanted to let you know that I nominated you for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award!

I’m so flattered! Thank you!
You’re welcome. I really love all of the projects that you work on. Very cool!
I adore those mint/violet and yellow/orange spots. They remind me of something scientific yet beautiful. I took a textiles class and my final project was a self portrait on stretched silk. I did mine in greyscale and man, it is tough! I kind of came out looking like a very dark skinned old man, hahaha. These are lovely.
I love your prints, thanks for sharing.
