3-D Flowers with GAC400




At Lunch time a t Vera's, Landreth showed us how she makes 3-D flowers with a sealant. We cut 5 circles of fabric about 2-2 1/2" diameter, and sealed them with a few drops of "Golden Medium GAC 400" This medium is a polymer that binds into the fibers, sealing them and making a permanent bond. She uses it also, to seal fabric treated with rust, to stop the rusting process and seal it from further oxidation. On the fabric circles, we pinched a tip from the center and wrapped thread around them, making dimensional flowers. We also sealed printed dragonflies, and lady bugs, she uses the flowers in a cluster on coffee sleeves with the bugs sticking up on a wire. They are very cute, but I did not get a picture of the finished project. Photographs: 1. Peggy & Vera 2. Peggy 3. Gracie
