More fabric painting

I tried my new Trapsuutjies paints today. Here, I used them on wet fabric. They blend very nicely.
On the next one, I used the paints on dry fabric. I then lifted some of the paint with a rag. The colours are not that dark in real, but there's a deluge of rain today, and it's very hard to take good pictures. The tiny white spots are also an invention of my camera...
Then I used homemade stamps with blue paint. Before the prints were completely dry, I put a wash of magenta on the fabric.
The darker streaks you can see are not in the fabric. They're actually on the plastic sheet under the fabric.
And now, two mop-up rags are drying in the garage. But these will be for tomorrow, if they turn out nicely.

Your fabric turned out great. I have never used trapsuutjies paints, thanks for the link.

Looks like you were having fun today. These turned out great. I wonder if there is a paint that's equivalent to this in the US.

I love the red one - looks like pomagranates.
