Bondaweb experiments

I got my sewing machine out for a little bit of experimenting.

I treated myself to a little early Christmas present which arrived this week.... If you want bags of inspiration this is the book for you!!

I have used bondaweb before with fabrics but realised I could probably combine it with collaged paper, fabric AND paint!!

 To find out more about using Bondaweb I recommend checking out Kim Thittichai, she has several great books on the subject and some great You tube clips.

                            

Inspired to give it a go?? :)

 First Bondaweb is ironed onto some medium weight cotton.

I then use it as a background for paper collage.

( the paper is collaged onto the fabric using a hot iron)

 then I painted other sheets of Bondaweb

With  acrylic craft paints

When dry the painted Bondaweb is ironed onto the Paper/fabric collage

it forms a stiff surface and I then stitched cut paper grasses and seed head embelishments to the landscape.

The background collage of papers shows through the painted Bondaweb.
the colours are rich and jewel-like. I also used some dimensional fabric paint to give a little surface detail.
