Tone's Textile Art

Hope you enjoy and get inspired by my textile art. I have been a quilter and fiber artist for many years, and have enjoyed all aspects of creating artistic, decorative and functional textiles. For the last 5 years my fascination with wool has become an increasingly bigger part of my fiber pieces. The main attraction for me when it comes to wool is the texture, softness and incredible versatility it has. To link to workshops, look at blog archives on the right under May 2023.

Transfer Paint in Oak Ridge, Tennessee

Several good quilting friends got together in Oak Ridge, TN to play with the transfer paint technique. First day: lots of papers were painted in brilliant colors and textures after we had mixed our paint.

Second day: we spent most of the time transferring our painted papers onto poly/cotton fabrics and creating many brilliant and distinctive designs. The main resist for creating shapes is dried and pressed leaves.

Other shapes also create beautiful colors and textures. Everyone will get variations of the colors so all prints will be unique and ready to be stitched and turned into small or large works of art.
