CQA Surface Design Party

Today turned out fantastic at our CQA meeting!  We had the following stations for making surface-designed fabrics to contribute to Stashfest:

Christina Fairley Erickson (me!): Shiva Oil Paintstick Rubbings, Stencils, Fabric Markers and Tsuneko Inks
Cameron Mason: Mono-printing with thickened dye
Colleen Wise: Thermofax silkscreening and foiling
Peg Swartzman: Oil Paintsticks with resists and stencil brushes
Kathy Cooper: Printing with Print blocks

Some of our finished packets of fabrics to sell at Stashfest
We labeled each packet with the artist's name who made the fabric(s), size(s),
and the processes used on each piece.


Stashfest Creator and CQA Member, Patricia Belyea
measured the fabrics and helped bundle them for sale
Want the chance to buy some of these wonderful fabrics?  Come to Stashfest April 6 and 7 up in LaConner!
