Summit Festival 2011

Going to the Summit Festival Saturday, August 20th 

I will be setting up bright and early, in the sweet little town of Summit. I will have my usually goodies, lots of rusty art.

This year I thought I would put some of my other art to good use. These are a collection of bags made from my favorite botanical gelatin prints, and a couple of my sun-printed fabrics, all the bags include parts of recycled pants and trims from old curtains.

What to do when it is over 100`

To Hot to Weld

The thermometer on the back porch said 108`

I just received my order of Seta-color paints for Sun-Printing so perfect day for trying to master the technique, I think I got the hang of it.

• I saturated my fabric with paint first, on a foam insulation board
• then arranged my plant that had been semi-preflatened,
• then took the whole thing out in the blazing Sun
  

It worked!!!!

Amazing How it draws the color out from under the item.

I am going to try more today ,

it is goin to be just as Hot and Sunny!
