I fell in love with printmaking back in college and my favorite printing process is monotyping- drawing or painting on a smooth non absorbent surface and then transferring it to paper. A monotype produces a completely unique print with a process that is unpredictable, expressive, painterly and totally unlike any other creative process. There are all kinds of tools and supplies for monotypes (acrylic printing plates, the Gelli plate, etc) but really any slick surface will work- even something as simple as a plastic bag! PRINT with plastic bags from Alisa Burke on Vimeo. I like to start by "inking up" a plastic bag with either a brayer or a paint brush. You can can use printing ink, acrylic paint or even fabric paint if printing on fabric surfaces. There are all kinds of ways to get expressive on the surface- you can scratch into the paint with a toothpick, old paint brush or the end of a pencil. You can pull paint away (subtractive method) with a cotton swap or a rag. You can even add paint and brush strokes to the surface. Once you are satisfied its time to print by simply placing the plastic bag onto your surface. I like to roll my brayer over it a couple of times and peel the bag away from the surface. You are left with a print! If you are lucky and there is still enough ink on the bag you are able to get a second print- called a "ghost print". Since I tend to work more messy and abstract I like to start by adding layers of prints on top of each other to create a background full of color and texture. And then I go back into my surface with adding a final layer of pattern (typically flowers or shapes inspired by nature). Interested in learning more about printmaking?

In Fall 2021, Sally and Josie (the IOD Sisters) revealed a new patent-pending DIY product category – IOD Paint Inlays. They’re not a rub-on decal; they’re not a synthetic film; they’re not a decor transfer and they’re not decoupage papers. When you apply an IOD Paint Inlay, paint is physically embedded into the surface of your project. After drying, the carrier paper is removed, leaving an authentic painted design and a buttery, almost leather-like surface on your piece. Use on paint, fabric, or glass. Each IOD Inlay includes eight 12″ x 16″ sheets and you can typically get 2-3 uses out of each inlay.

I love a party, I love seeing all the different, cool, quilty embellishments when folk link-up! Since I've gotten so many comments on my little quilt painted sample I did a while back, I thought maybe you would like to see a little tutorial. I almost feel guilty calling this a tutorial, because it's so easy, but if nothing else, maybe this will give you the courage to try this out! What you need to get started! Quilt (sample), Lumiere (fabric) paint, paint brushes, paper plate to use as a palette, water to clean your brushes and paper towel to dry off your brushes. (I bought these paints on Amazon, you may find them in art stores) I had three brushes to use, but for this project I only used the top brush. Squirt just a little paint out on the plate. Not too much, because it will dry somewhat quickly. Load your brush with a fair amount of paint. Apply is right to the quilt! The paint is opaque (can't see through it), so just spread it on. This paint will work equally as well on dark fabric. Just keep filling in the quilted areas you want painted. You can mix and shade as you like. The surface does stay wet for a bit and you can paint over it wet or dry for the results you want. Experiment and have some fun! You can always paint over it. You can see, I add paint to the palette as I go, so the paint does dry out too fast. Before you know it, you have a painted quilt that just shines! Detail of the painted sections. You really can shade areas. The paint really is wonderfully easy to use. This is what my palette looked like at the end of painting. I hope I've inspired you to try out this quilty embellishment! Now link up some of you quilty embellishments that you did this month (you can link up to 3 posts)! When you link-up, you are automatically entered to win 9 hand-painted Indonesian batik squares (5"h x 4.5"w).
