Wearable original little art.
And the winner of the Wee Reader is: SHOBHANA!!!!!!! Yay Shobhana!!! This time Diego opened the book in page 15 :) If you are not number 15 don't worry because our next giveaway will be after tomorrow, Wednesday May 7 :)
And now let's see our Monday post:
These are some little creations that I made using linen fabric, shrink plastic for the buttons and this textile paint.
Steps:
1. I painted directly on the fabric with the textile paint (using a brush).
2. Once it was dry I ironed the fabric from the back at a high temperature to fix the paint.
3. And then I attached the buttons (featuring handmade one of a kind tiny drawings)
This little creations are so versatile, they could be framed as they are but we can also use them for decorating children clothes or adult clothes or little bags or for making pockets...because they are washable!. I am sooo excited about this new little creations! I will be listing these three ones on my Etsy store tomorrow. These little creations are now available on my Etsy store! They measure about 7x5 1/2".
Now I have to go but I will be back tomorrow!
Have a great day!
Elsita :)
Tan creativa como siempre. Muy bonitas estas piezas.

You must be the most versatile artist in the world . I love these painted fabric swatches especially the first one with the trees/ plants. I might just have to try to get to etsy tomorrow to see if I can purchase one. Diego must be very happy about his new very important job of picking the winners. Have a wonderful monday elsita.

These are so sweet! I am very impressed with your shrink plastic buttons- I have so many problems with my pieces coming out misshapen when I do this- especially not flat. I get so frustrated- arg!
