Printing with acrylics on paper and fabric

At February's meeting we experimented with printing on paper and fabric using simple shapes. Here are some examples from around the room (in no particular order):

Do bring anything you make from your printed pieces along to a future meeting, we'd love to see them.

Disappearing blocks at January's meeting

Hi everyone,

Liz showed us how to design 'disappearing blocks' using paper and masking tape at the meeting in January, then we all experimented with some designs. Here are a few examples.

Four-patch block with straight cuts

Four-colour, four-patch blocks (two identical blocks) with diverging cuts and the centre sections swapped

A variation on the last design

This one gives a basket-weave effect (which might be more visible with the right choice of colours and tones)

And finally a nine-patch block (two identical blocks, diagonal cuts and alternate pieces swapped over)

At the next meeting, we will be trying out some simple printing using every day objects. A requirements list will be posted here shortly and also emailed to members of the group.

Please make a comment below if you would like to receive information about the group.

Best wishes

Karen
