A Fabric Painting Day with Friends

Last week my daughter had a painting day with her fiber artist friends.  They met at one member’s home and made a fun day.  Would you call this a “modern” quilting bee of sorts?

They did their fabric painting using gelatin.  Beth made several pans of colorless gelatin to take with her.

Then they spread paint in various designs and even non-designs over the gelatin and pressed the fabric onto it.  These then dried.  She now has numerous circles of delightful color and design to create with.

At home, she made smaller circles and is doing the same with it, creating numerous colored small circles.

When Beth gets something posted on her blog about this project, I’ll let you know.

Have you ever done this type of fabric painting?  What did you make from it?
