Painted Coasters

Painted-Coasters

These coasters were made with some of my recent fabric experiments. First, I used textile paints with foam stamps and brushes to create simple designs. I experimented with watering down the paint, adding different colors, neons, and metallics. I used a scrap of linen and a vinyl light-blocking fabric that I had left over from making curtains. The benefit of experimenting with fabric is that you can simply cut out what you like and sew it into something, leaving the rest for another time.
