Fiber Paste & Modeling Paste Fun

Yesterday was a very fun day with the Fiber Junkies experimenting with fiber paste and modeling paste on paper and fabric.  Gen had some experience with these products and we admired a piece she had made with fiber paste. This is it below. Isn't it pretty?

The materials needed were the fiber paste or modeling paste product, stencils, and a spatula or old credit card. 

 

 Then we selected some fabrics and stencils and used the card/spatula to spread the paste over the stencil. 

 Here is Val spreading the paste through a stencil. 

 

Here is Mary (and a little bit of Denny) having fun. She also used a paste with "glass" beads. It was very pretty when it dried, It looked clear and colorless. Check Mary's blog for more pictures.

Some of us used a thick amount of the paste. I tended to keep my layers thin.  I also liked to only fill part of the stencils. This lets the eye fill in the parts.

 So, this is the stencil I liked.

 

This is it on my fabric with the paste filling in part of the stencil. 

 

We set the fabric outside to dry.

I thought it would be fun to add paint to my modeling paste. So I added green, my favorite color. This is a container with the colored paste.

I wanted a little depth by adding the green.

 

 Another stencil I liked had a brick pattern.  I put it on some fabric I had rusted a few years ago.

 

The blog site has turned this picture sideways, but you get the idea.

 

This is a piece of  fabric I had dyed and printed.

 

This is it after the modeling paste with a few different floral stencils. I did the 2nd layer in green on this piece also.

It will be interesting to see what we do with these pieces.
