You should know by now that Lutradur® is a fabulously versatile art material that’s described as a cross between paper and fabric. This mixed media project is all about Lutradur and incorporates painting, collaging, burning, and lacing techniques.
Read what Jenn Mason, this project’s designer had to say about working with Lutradur:
The Lutradur was a challenge to work with, because it falls somewhere between fabric and paper. I loved how the paint was absorbed but didn’t bleed, which allowed me to go crazy with my colors while still keeping a bright, unmuddied palette. The kid in me also enjoyed melting the Lutradur, and it took all my willpower to keep from watching the whole piece melt away.

I just can not get enough of this stuff—
ure of a butterfly, inkjet-printed the wings on treated Lutradur, then trimmed and stitched two wings together for each earring. You can run Lutradur sheets through your inkjet printer straight out of the package if you want a softer or rougher looking image. But if you want a crisp image like these wings, then paint Lutradur first with a clear medium, let it dry, then print on it.
