I am really excited that Carol and I are announcing our first…
Playful Fabric Print-Along!
This is a month long event. And just wait! We have gathered up some snazzy benefits to go with it!
What does this mean? How do I participate? What do I need to do?
Participation in this Print-Along requires the purchase and use of the Playful Fabric Printing book. Print-Alongs are participatory events. We will not be teaching you how to print, so much as printing along-side you. We will answer questions in the community group, of course, but we will refer you back to the book when necessary.
We invite you to join our Playful Fabric Printing Community page on Facebook.
This is a closed and growing group of ‘playful friends’, who are working with our techniques and contributing to great discussion. We share photos, tips, video content and friendship in this fabulous and supportive community.
Anyone can join, whether you participate in the Playful Fabric Print-Along or not. This is the place we’ll have discussions during the Print-Along and this is where participants share results.
Also, Carol and I will be blogging throughout the Print-Along covering dye and print related matters.
(This quilt top was printed with the Melly Marks Lace Swirl Kit. I will be blogging about this one soon, so please check back!)
Guidelines:
Each of you will make tools of your own or use favorite tools to create between 1-9 prints.
It may be that you print one gorgeous print or you might choose to “speed print” multiples (Playful Fabric Printing, page 90). We suggest you begin by perusing Chapter 4, and choosing a technique to explore, like Double Stamping (Playful Fabric Printing, page 69),or maybe “Printing Photo-Inspired Multicolor Sets (Playful Fabric Printing, page 96).
And then, follow your fancy while printing one to nine! (or more)
On April 28 we will have a ‘Show and Share Roundup’ within the Playful Fabric Printing Community page.
Bloggers who choose to shout out participation and want to show samples of their work through their websites and blogs are encouraged. We would love to collect ‘Pins’ of your work and web presence to our Playful Fabric Printing Pinterest boards. Check out Carol’s Playful Fabric Printing board, then head over to mine. We hope you’ll want the Pins! AND, please use our hashtag, #playfulfabricprinting This will help us follow one-another on our socials.
Let us know you are joining the Playful Fabric Print-Along inside the Playful Fabric Printing FB community page.
And it’s OK to share this blog post on your favorite social media platform! We would love help in getting the word out.
BONUS!!!! Coupon Bonanza! This is the snazzy part.
During the Playful Fabric Print-Along our good friends from PRO Chemical & Dye and StencilGirl and of course, Melly Marks are offering coupons to members of our Playful Fabric Printing Facebook Community.
