Chapter 6 – Monoprinting

Monoprinting using black acrylic paint on a piece of glass – delightful!  The results were fast and fun.  I LOVED doing this!  In fact I had trouble stopping.  It was important not to get the paint too thick so that when it transferred to the fabric it wouldn’t dry too stiffly.

What would I do differently next time?
Well I loved the technique and managed to get my paint to just the right consistency.  I think the answer to this question is simply down to preparation – I ran out of fabric and had to cut more pieces which was annoying when I just wanted to carry on!
