fabric painting "finished" project
#1
I finished a table runner using a yellow background. It is TOO intense and I am thinking I could tone it down with fabric paint. Having never used any, I wondered if someone could tell me if this would work without ruining the table runner? It is totally finished now.
thanks for any help :)

I have only used the opaque white paint marker, it did tone and blend the colors. I took swatches of the fabric and played with coloring different parts of the material. I would think that any of the opaque colors would work for this. I did not take any pictures of these projects, sorry. :cry:

Another thought, would tea dying tone it down? I would try this on a scrap, first to see if you like the effect. I wonder if you took a sponge and barely dampened it and lightly sponged the material, if you could control the bleeding, and just keep it in the yellow fabric and not the surronding areas?

I have done quiet abit of fabric painting, But I've never done it on a finished item. I do mine piece by piece. I use acrylics with a textile medium, I paint or shade the picture, or said design, then create the quilt top. I'm not saying you could'nt do it. However I would suggest working with the paint on scrap pieces to check your control and brush technique. Then make your decision. I'd hate for you to mess up your quilt.
