mahalo Naylor
the fabric became quite textured when I started painting…Sometimes I never know how the fabric will react…all fabrics tend to do different things…

Estelle O'Brien, 3 months ago

Beautiful work kj. I’m interested in your comments about the fabric…what sort of fabric do you paint on? Is it stretched on a frame? I love bougainvillea…I used bright magenta bgv to decorate all the tables at my daughter’s wedding some years ago. It looked gorgeous on the white tablecloths.

kjgordon in reply to Irish’s comment, 3 months ago

I make my own frames and stretch the fabric by hand…then coat the fabric with a latex paint…thattakes about a dy…then I go to work on my paintignwith acrylic paints..each piece takes anywhere from 6-16 hours to complete..All paintings are coated with a gloss or sateen varnish

Must be fun cleaning them up .. you can make Potpourri… That would be great!

kjgordon in reply to Judi Taylor’s comment, 3 months ago

they have no smell…just pretty pink paper like feel…they get raked and tossed…when they end up in the pool they get bleached out…what a mess…and thorny!!!!
