Renowned textile artist Mickey Lawler's shares her amazing way with color and design, instructing readers of any skill level how to paint cottons to achieve remarkable scenic effects suggesting sunrises, sunsets, night skies, storms, seas, landscapes, and gardens. Throughout these vivid pages are gorgeous quilts by various artists that use Mickey's hand-painted fabrics. Also included is a brief project for turning your own painted fabrics into a simple quilt. Skydyes takes an easygoing tutorial approach to teach quilters new aspects of their craft. Supplies and equipment, fabric preparation, and painting techniques are covered. The reader is then led step-by-step through a series of landscape painting exercises illustrating each technique. Finally, all of the exercises are pieced into an abstract landscape quilt that will serve as a permanent reference for the aspiring fabric painter. |
