The black crackle is a bit overdone, but it's great. A light coat of FPR was applied over canvas fabric and once the FPR was dry and cracked black Dye-na-flow was painted over the surface and allowed to dry. To heat-set the Dye-na-flow the back side was ironed about 5 times, then I soaked the fabric in cold water for about an hour before rinsing it under cold water and then tossed it into the washing machine to remove any remaining FPR.
Well I think the top crackle photo has a lot of possibilities for adding things on top which will be set off by the black. That's just me. I really enjoy the colors with the black.
ReplyDeleteThe black crackle finish has a lot of character. I keep thinking of the web of life.
I admire your adventurous Spirit!
i must be missing something, I think that they are all wonderful!! : )
ReplyDeleteWow this seems like a lot of work to produce the incredible effects. The top piece I really enjoyed mainly because of all the color. But with that being said the other 2 pieces are awesome also. Like "C" "the web of Life". It's a wonderful background for you next idea or combining with other pieces or whatever way your thinking of going with it:>)
ReplyDeleteI like the top fabric, it has a lot of potential! There are many things you can do to tame it, or you can just use small pieces of it as visual texture. :D Nice work! (And thanks for the mention.)
ReplyDeleteI think it's perfect. It looks nice. I learned something from you. Thanks for those tips.
