Potato Printing with Doilies

Sue has REinvented with me in the past and will do so in the future and like all good REinventors Sue's not afraid to try her hand at new things - we're a fearless lot!
 Last weekend, while the rest of the class stitched their REinventions, Sue printed hers.
I coined the term, Potato Printing with Doilies because it is literally just that, you employ the same strategy & techniques as if printing with a carved-into cut-in-half potato - only without the potato because there's too many other options, like doilies, stamps, table runners!
All you need is:
fabric paint
 lots of newspaper
plastic chopping board
small paint roller
  printing surface
rolling pin
iron

I think you'll agree, something as simple as a splash of colour & a strategically placed pattern can totally change the look of a garment - for the better!

I'd love to show how much fun this is, so I've set aside a Sunday here at the Studio to do just that....places will be limited so best to book early - contact me for details.
