!!! I love that whale....Betty, seriously, I would buy that fabric. How washable is it? I have a thing for whales.
Fantastic! You did a great job! Love the whales too.
Oh Betty you creative girl, you. I could see this stretched on canvas or pillows. WOW!
Oh, it's so well done, looks professional. I wonder how you get the paint to be so smooth?
Love, love, LOVE these whales! You've done it again!
The whales are awesome!!! What do you plan to do with the fabric? Hopefully something adorable, because it should not go to waste.
Have you considered selling your hand-painted fabrics on Etsy?
cute whales! I love freezer paper stencilling, but i wish they were more re-usable. I think my next printing venture will be the potato prints from Lotta's book. Have you done any of those yet?
Hi everyone! Thanks for the comments as always. I couldn't track down everyone's info to reply back to them.
Leslieanne: Thanks! It is fabric paint (non-puffy kind, in a jar I think called Jacquerds) so it paints on very smoothly. Although it isn;t perfect. You can definately "feel" the paint. I am going to try silkscreen paint next which i think lies smoother.
That is absolutely gorgeous! What a pretty blue.
I like how the whales are close together, so they kind of interlock! The shape is great!
LOVE it!! what a lovely cushion cover it would make...
the whales are very cute , and the colours are just beautiful together. As Leslie said a cushion cover would look really nice.
abcgirl- I haven't tried the potato print yet. I just ordered some cutters so maybe next week. :)
I too am loving these whales. They are a great mix of whimsy and Escher-like geometrics.
Wow! This is so pretty.
This is good. So good. What a great, summery design.
wow! This is gorgeous! that whale pattern is so classic!
Love the whales!!!
i love that whale! i know a certain little boy of mine that would love a print in his bedroom. such a talent you have!
love, lindsay
Ditto what Shannon said! You've inspired me. I went to buy that Lotta book at B&N and all their copies were missing the patterns in the back! Rotten thieves. Anyway, I seriously love those whales. Great work!
hahaha. this is so great!!! i want a whale dress made out of this fabric.
i love how the whales look like flowers all together--and freezer paper stencil? impressive!
