More Monoprinting

Monoprinting on Commercial Fabric

I was organizing my fabric into storage boxes recently and found this commercial fabric. Not sure why I bought it. Definitely not my style so, I decided to monoprint on top of it.  I will share this technique in the class I'm teaching at Community Center of La Canada-Flintridge.

The first step was to monoprint orange fabric paint on top of the commercial fabric.



It wasn't interesting enough for me. So, I monoprinted on top using brown fabric paint. 



This piece is hanging on my design wall for now. Not sure if I want to leave it alone or continue marking it. To be continued...
