Surface Design at Montana Art Quilt Retreat - Fall 2007

One of the techniques included in the workshop is cutting rubber stamps from plumbers rubber gasket material. Here is Darleen cutting her stamps. Behind her on the wall are some of her pieces from the previous two days work.

This orange piece is Darleen's Setacolor painted Habotai silk that was placed over bubble wrap to dry.

Darleen stamped foil adhesive onto a hand dyed piece to obtain this lovely fabric.

Darleen's mulit-colored piece - many techniques were included on this complex piece.

Emilie's Habotai silk green piece was painted with Lumiere and Setacolor paints. She placed plastic lids on the surface, creating these wonderful circles.

Emilie's work, and a bit of Darleen's is hanging on the wall in the background here.

There was a lot of texture created on this piece due to the slow rate of drying and the amount of water on the fabric. Emilie had her fabric very wet, and it was chilly and damp the day she painted this piece.

Above, Emilie painted on cotton canvas, then followed with stamping.
