This month we explored coloring on fabric with crayons. Janice and Connie taught us a couple of methods of using crayons on fabric and then we got to play. They did a wonderful job of teaching and demonstrating these techniques. We mostly used Crayola and Prang crayons with a bit of colored pencil thrown in. Any wax based pencils and crayons will work on fabric. Here are some of the samples we had as inspiration.
Here are some more photos of pieces that we worked on.

This group is wonderful for getting us all to try new techniques and learn how to enhance our art quilts. We have all learned so much and are growing as artists.
Next month we are going to be painting on fabric. Here is the supply list.
You Bring:
- Something to hold water for rinsing your brushes
- Paint brushes if you have have them (for acrylic paint)
- $4 to cover cost of supplies
The paints, painting medium, foam plates, extra paint brushes, pieces of fabric, cardboard to attach the fabric, and anything else we will need will be provided.
If you have a fabric landscape you want to bring we can discuss how you can enhance it with paint.
Have a wonderful creative month everyone.
