Decor on the cheap. I had this fabric gifted to me from my mother in law, I think it was from a "shy baby" kit. The pillow form I stole from my bedroom pillows, which to tell the truth are always stuffed in the closet except once and a while when I have company. LOL
I created this Camera pillowcase cover using the Liquid Medium and Acrylic paint technique found in this previous post of mine.
Originally I was going to try making a DIY fabric transfer using wax paper. You have to flip the image for this technique. Needless to say it did't work, because I only had parchment paper. So I decided, what the hey, I'll just paint it. Not until I was half way done painting did it occur to me that I forgot to undo the image flip, so anyone familiar with camera's will catch that this camera is backwards... oops. LOL
I used equal parts acrylic paint with transparent liquid medium.
I cut out the regular photocopy or printed image with a craft knife and traced onto the fabric. I just used a regular sheet of 8.5 x 11 printer paper.
I left a bit of the focus lens mount dial and the glass lens attached to the body of the camera so that I didn't lose the placement in the image then connected the lines in the drawn image. I pinned my fabric to a sheet of wax paper so that the paint wouldn't soak through to my work surface.
I painted the pencil image using medium/acrylic mix. Then let dry.
The fine lines I did with one of Boo's fabric markers. I am not sure how well the the markers will wash. I imagine you could also use a Sharpie marker. Once dry, I went over all of it with an iron set to medium.
