Back in March, I posted photos of some abstract designs on
cloth, made from a process that I promised to share with you. Well, at last, here it is!
I had found an article in the Summer 2014 issue of Quilting Arts Magazine
called "Stained & Scorched: Transform Fabric with Lemon Juice and
Heat" by Victoria Gertenbach. It looked easy and quick...and it was!
You simply paint on fabric with reconstituted lemon juice, let
it dry a bit, press it with a hot iron repeatedly, and voila! A design
magically appears! Add more paint strokes and do it again for layered designs.
I shared the technique with my #FiberArts Group at our monthly
meeting this past Monday, and they had a blast!
For those of us who have little time to be creative, this is a great technique for instant gratification and surprising results!
