It’s my second week of #printinktober. If you missed the first week, here is the link. This week I am still using rollers, but wanted to use mostly plain ones to see what I could create.
Here are the supplies I played with this past week. I’m using two and three-inch foam rollers, a decorative roller, and a metal roller I bought at a thrift shop. I also used that packing foam which I cut in half for one of the pieces.
For these next pieces I used Jacquard Textile paints.
I am spreading paint on the fabric with the rollers. I’m not looking for even distribution. I just want some of the paint on the fabric.
This is how the fabric looked when I was finished adding the paint. But it really needed something to tie it all together.
I thought adding red over the piece using this decorative roller would add a nice touch.
Here I am adding the red.
And the finished piece (or at least finished for now).
I wanted to see what kind of mark that metal tool made. Unfortunately, I didn’t take a picture before but did take this one in progress. This was just using the yellow and green and adding red with this metal tool.
And the final piece. I love the organic feel of the marks that the metal tool made.
Here is another one using that metal tool.
I really like this piece for it’s simplicity.
The last three were using the Artistic Artifact paints I used in the previous post.
Here are all seven of my pieces again.
Well, that’s all for this week. Thanks for dropping by.
Linda,
I like the simplicity of that metal tool also. How do you keep yourself from not making dozens of pieces? That’s one of my stumbling blocks, once I get started, I seem to continue for longer than I really wanted to. And, then, I have more fabric possibilities than Carters have liver pills! I’m sure my mom would have said that about it, lol.
Have you tried any of the Lumiere paints with that metal roller? I tell you, honestly, every time I read your blog I come away with so many ideas,,,, and I love that! THANKS
Hope you are having lovely autumn weather.
Luann, No, I’ve not tried it with Lumiere. Those were my first pieces with it. I must do that!! You are so funny. Sounds like my mom would have said that too! That tool is definitely something I will use again. I was trying to figure out what it was and I think it’s a dough cutter. I had to put paint on a paper plate and not use the gel plate or it would have been all sliced up!! Yes, it’s been so nice to get rid of those terrible hot days. Looking forward to more cool weather. So glad I can give you some ideas. Thank you for all of your inspiration and dropping by here.
I love the color palette with the yellow, olive and rust, but the one with the metal tool I think I like the best. It looks like a screen door and for some reason that appeals to me. It looks like you’re having way too much fun with these.

Jaime, Thanks. You are right! That tool makes it look like a screen door!
