Sunprints revealed

June 25th, 2008 · 6 Comments

Now that my swap partner, who is Dayna of Scottie Acres has received her swap, I will post a photo of a bit more of it.  Dayna loves scottie dogs and so I cut out lots of outlines of these and used them to sunprint the scarf.  Here it is being printed by the obliging sun!

Here it is nearly dry and I removed some of the dog shapes because they had got blown off by the wind!  I love how it gave the dogs almost ghostly outlines:

Here is the scarf washed, folded and ready to go - I didn’t actually take a photo of the whole thing finished.  Duh.

I did an interview for the blog of the Boomers Street Team of which I am a member and it is on there now if you would like to read it.

Some more Print Gocco machines arrived this morning!  I will be testing them all but once I have done that I will list them for sale one at a time on a page of my blog and will post a notice to that effect here.  It is rather busy at the moment (the summer term is always busy with school events) so I will list them as I have time to package them up and mail them - that is why it will be one at a time!

    Are there special dyes for sunprinting? I’d love to try it. The effect is very pretty.
