The freezer paper is the magic of it all. <br /><br />In order to run the tea bags through the printer to print the text rather than having to hand stamp it, Pam [she of the art retreat fame] suggested ironing them to freezer paper as quilters do.<br /><br />I cut a piece of freezer paper to 8 1/2" x 11", laid my tea bags on it and, with the iron set to medium and no steam, lightly ironed the tea bags to the waxy side of the freezer paper...just enough that they stayed on, but could still be pealed off later. <br /><br />This "sheet of paper" was then put in my ink jet printer, I played with the text on the computer, hit print and voila! Tea bags were printed in a fraction of the time it would have taken to hand stamp it all. <br /><br />Friday afternoon, my curiosity got the better of me so the process was repeated with a piece of rusted cotton as well as rusted silk organza. It worked beautifully with both, but especially the organza. <br /><br />I love text, fabric, storytelling, paper, books...and this process has opened a world of possibilities, a way of uniting my loves.

While various techniques have been used with the cottons and organza - rusting being my favorite - I've yet break out the chemical dyes. Haven't wanted to, actually. <br /><br />At the beginning of October, I'm going to Cleveland to take a workshop with the eco goddess herself, India Flint, to learn what nature can really do with fabrics. <br /><br />Yes, it was quite a week. 4 days of quality studio time. Next week, school is 5 days!
