Second week of printing the alphabet - and B it is!
 |
| Scraped (top of mat) and dry brushed using the back of the mat |
1. Take your lowly dollar store bath mat - or a fancier one.
One of my students once brought in her wedding gift bat mat - great pattern!
2. Using pigments (I favour Colour Vie), paint your fabric in a pale colour
3. While the fabric is still wet, paint over the first colour with a darker hue.
4. Slip the bath mat under the fabric
5. Using a scraper of some kind (I like dry wall smoothers),
scrape off the top layer of pigment.

This technique and several others are described in my Instructional Guides
“Creating Textures” and “Creating Textures: Soft Textures”.
