Fabric paintings are done on silks for more delicate items, or linens or canvas for durability, using special paints that are cured for washing. Glenys has made t-shirts, waistcoats, ties, cravats, sweatshirts, cushions, wall hangings, bags and quilting patches. Almost anything you can imagine on fabric can be custom painted with a unique design.
In addition to commissioning or buying her fabric pieces, you can opt to study the art yourself at one of Glenys' fabric painting workshops.
Monogrammed cushions are unique custom designs by Glenys, commissioned for anniversaries, weddings or to commemorate any special event. After creating the design, Glenys paints on silk and hand-finishes the cushion herself. These uniques pieces become heirloom cushions for the family to keep for generations. Some cushions include embroidery as well as fabric painting.
