Featured Artist : Suzanne Meyer Pistorius | Blu Girl Art
Artist Bio / Statement
I have been painting fabric on and off for the past 20 years, I recently decided to start my own business/website. Basically, I paint fabric for any end use, as my attached photos show. it could be for clothing, upholstery, scarves, or pareo's cushions. I paint with the resist method, using Presist preferably. I also use Pebeo Thickener for a freehand watercolour technique. I use Jacquard textile paint for upholstery and Jacquard Dye-na-Flow for silk painting. I also use Pebeo Setacolour watered down for watercolour technique and for upholstery painting.
I use Dharma Fabrics exclusively. For upholstery, I use hemp silk, hemp canvas, and summercloth and cotton denim twill. For silk painting, I use silk organza - this is fabulous to paint on, as one can very successfully paint freehand. I also use stretch silk charmeuse, silk chiffon, crepe de chine, and sand washed cotton for some of my cushions. I paint on Dharma's silk chiffon scarves and Pareos using the watercolour technique. I also use a variety of metallic paints such as Jacquard Lumiere and Pebeo Opaque Shimmer Paint. The attached photos are only a small sample of what I have been able to achieve using Dharma products.
