Painting on Linen
I'm painting directly on heavyweight 100% linen with fabric paints to make a few pillow covers for our home and some as gifts. I will spend my day sewing which is a nice break from all the drawing I've been doing lately.

Très joli !
Oh that moth/butterfly is stunning!
I love the butterfly and I can't wait to see the pillow it turns into (unless it's a gift, of course).
oh they worked out so nicely
the fabric paint looks like gouache
beautiful!
That looks so nice! I always wanted to try painting on fabric!

superluscious color...love it!
Beautiful work!
Gorgeous! Well, something I saw on Pinterest led me over here. I've "liked" your page on Facebook, ordered your book, added you as a contact on Flickr, favorited your shop on Etsy . . . And spent the last two hours drooling over your work on this blog. I have to go out now, but I'm leaving the page open so I can come back and look some more.

SO gorgeous....... would you mind telling me what colors you bought? i've been looking for good fabric paints.
LOVE LOVE LOVE your work!!!
These are so pretty and so easy to do, you could paint whatever design you want on your cushions! Brilliant idea!
this is beautiful! ^_^
Ordered your book and received it today. It's a bit late now but I can hardly wait to try some of your ideas! Thanks!
Just lovely!
I've followed your work for awhile, but this was probably the first time I feel compelled to comment! I've begun printing on fabrics, new linen as well as vintage linens with embroidery on them, etc. It's so satisfying...
I just love Turbo so much! He looks adorable...
So so beautiful!

J'adore !!! je suis fan de votre travail.
I absolutely love your artwork and blog Geninne!! You've got such a beautiful naturey creative style. I love the posts of your studio and house too, I think you should totally be on Aparment Therapy!
I love your linen covers.I also paint on silk and linen and thought you would be interested in knowing that you can buy a medium to mix with acrylics that turns them into fabric paints.It works out so much cheaper than having to buy all the colours in fabric paints.Golden is one company that has it -gac900,acrylic polymer emulsion.Hope this is helpful.
@patricias fabric art: Thank you so much for that tip Patricia! Very helpful!
What a fantastic, beautiful idea!
Your art is so lovely! The designs on your birds has inspired me to explore this in the felted birds that I make...Here are some...Hope you Like!
