Art Box work by Lyric Montgomery Kinard |
dye and discharge cloth with a katazome inspired thermofax screen
mix colorless extender with textile paint to increase its transparency
use photoshop and make several images for a thermofax screen – variations on a theme
put it up and take a look – say oooooh, aaaaah!
test images for placement, keeping in mind the size of the canvas
use a strong enough color that it will contrast and become a focal point
a second screen will be used to apply foil adhesive to a selected area
a card (I always end up with a hotel room key) is perfect for this size of screen
lay the foil color side up on top of the DRY adhesive and use the edge of the iron and quite a bit of pressure to apply the foil
let the foil cool before peeling it off
check placement with canvas again before proceeding to the next step – adding batting and stitching
Keep your eye out here for a tutorial on how to mount the finished work on a gallery wrapped canvas.

What is an Art Box?
An Art Box is a new and exciting way to purchase a collection of art from several different artists at once. Artists create a limited number of new original artworks for inclusion in the box in a predetermined size making it easy for the collector to display them together if they desire. Purchasing an Art Box is a cost effective way to begin or add to a growing art collection from today’s most popular mixed media and textile artists.
