Last fall when Dave and I took our walks in the neighborhood, I saw so many crushed pine cones on the ground. Of course, I thought they may make great marks on fabric. Today I wanted to show you what I came up with when I used them.
Here is the video of my process.
The photo below shows a regular pine cone and the crushed ones I printed with.
I started with this resist piece.
I added purple paint using the crushed pine cone as my marking tool.
I found that was kind of dull, so I added white paint over the purple.
Here is the finished piece.
This piece was the one I demonstrated on the video.
This piece was white fabric that I stamped over it with orange, turquoise, purple, black, and white paints.
So much fun! Loved how these turned out. It’s amazing the marks that found object can make. Do you have a favorite found object you like to print with?
Wow, Lynda, you had wonderful results with the crushed pine cones! Who would have thought!!!
Janice, Thank you! I was surprised! And it was so much fun!
Amazing results. I’ll have to keep my eyes down so I can find some.
I love the texture, and I never would’ve guessed that it is from pine cones!
KJ, Thanks. Yep, gotta look down!!
Sherrie, Thanks. Yes, I was really surprised too.
