These are images, printed with permission, of an orange construction fence printed on fabric with potato dextrin. It was created by Laurel Cull, from Bellaire, TX, who I met when I was in Houston, Texas. She brought this wonderful piece of fabric to show me, when I was selling the The Uncommon Quilter at the International Quilt Festival in late October/early November.
Everyone who knows me and my art work, knows that I LOVE to print off of orange construction fences. I was very excited to meet Laurel, and to see her fabric. I have no idea what potato dextrin is, or how you use it, but she made a wonderful batik-like image of a construction fence. It's very exciting to see how she printed with it in a totally different way than I do, and how appealing it is.
I asked Laurel to explain how she created it. She said "It's dyed multiple times using Procion with corn and potato dextrin resists. The corn dextrin creates a solid resist whereas the potato dextrin crackles on drying allowing for the spider web affect. The fabric is 40" X 60" Pimatex cotton."
It was a gift for me to see her work, and it's my pleasure to share it with you.
