It's Crafty: DIY Magellan Penguin Stencil Print - and more
Fabric design is so much fun, and very easy if you have the right tools and like to experiment!
Friend Caprice Rothe and I have been having loads of fun with fabric design. Caprice is well known for her role in the movie E.T. (she was performing in every scene that showed the hands of E.T.). Caprice is also a really amazing graphic designer.
Caprice knows I love penguins, and has been creating penguin images with... and for... me. We get together for creative sessions about once weekly, and it's great inspiration for me, personally!
I wanted to share the 3 videos that I made of our fun yesterday. It was great! Here's the breakdown. (Click links to view):
- Preparing for color removal experiment with baking soda and bleach.
- Stenciling a Magellan Penguin onto fabric.
- Stenciling a Japanesque scene using stencils created by Caprice. You'll want to look for the hidden leopard sharks at the bottom of the finished scene!
Tools used were: Silhouette 2-D cutter, Contact paper, Speedball Inks and hand tools.
