I see it's been over a month since I added to the blog - my intention was at least once a week! I'll try to do better!
These are my "Bloomin' Stink Bugs!", postcards that I did for a Virginia Consortium of Quilters postcard swap. I used the shield shape of the stink bug's body in 2 sizes to create a flower-like design and screen-printed it on a hand-dyed fabric that has a first layer of gelatin plate printing. Paints are Jacquard Lumiere textile paint. Machine stitching enhances the flower design.

ReplyDeleteThanks. It wasn't a particular type of stink bug, just the shield shape of their body that I used to create the design.
