MAY PTA SHOW AND TELL

Our monthly meeting was inspiring as usual......here's what some of the members have been busy doing.....

Gen spent time dying and painting used dryer sheets.......amazing! Who'd have thunk it?


These are even better in my opinion..... I think I'm correct by saying that with one exception (the orange one)......these very textured pieces were derived simply by tossing dye catchers in the wash with colored clothing. Sorry my photo didn't capture them better......the surface gave the appearance of leather.

Gen also painted a variety of fabrics such as silk, rayon, cotton. She suggests to stop using paper towels as clean up 'rags'....instead use cotton fabric......the results can be stunning!

Gen really has been busy......This little piece was inspired by a Carol Taylor DVD. Actually, Gen has already mastered her sewing machine so well......that her design was of course a winner in our opinion!

Detail

.....more PTA creativity tomorrow.....
