Painting with dried leaf-tutorial

Lakshmis stem event inspired me to create some thing with dried leaf

,..so i tried painting with leaf on tshirt for the first time,..

i used block paint colours..but i guess fabric paint can be used too,.i applied the colour on the sponge with help of spreader,..pressed the leaf on the pianted area and then pressed the same leaf hard on the tshirt,,,and wow,.i got beautiful impression of the leaf on the tank top,

..once done with leaf impressions,..i did stem stich all along the borders of the leaf

and finally did sequin embroidery on the midline,

..any pattern can be tried with leaf ,,,this is the simplest which i coukd get in my mind when i was doing

,..i couldnt click pic when i was dng leaf impression,..next time i do i will sure take,..hope this tutorial was helpful to u all,..if u all try painting with leaf ,..do share,..will be back with more,,.:-)

STEM EVENT SERIES PART TWO WITH AWARDS AND MEME

Stem event is still on ,..so after doing two tshirts which i have published earlier i thought of doing something else with the stem,..i had a photo frame,.so tried decorating with a small twig,i i used fabric paint as colour medium,acrylic paint can be used too,once done i tried making cards on plain printer paper,..made Ganesha face on one ,and on the other one simple wheel,..u can see in the pics,..that the lines are not uniform,,cause i have used twig ,,but it sure gives nice effect to the paintings,...once done with the cards i wanted to try more,i did all this the same night cause advay had slept early that day,..i had a file folder with medicines name on it,..i covered the folder with white paper and tried making traditional Indian woman ..with the same twig,..used fabric paint again,...once done,.i tried again on tshirt ,..i did the out line of the quote"FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS AND WISHES TODAY SO THAT YOU DONT HAVE TO SAY THAT I WISH I DID THAT"with the stem and filled in colour with paint brush,..read this quote in some quote book,..and since that day thought of doing this on tshirt...tanp top was old one,so the effect has not come that good,...hve done two more tshirts which i will be posting in the next post,..these were done long back,..but as i was busy with other things...couldnt publish them
