Printing with Annie Sloan chalk paint

We have had a very busy two weeks here at the studio experimenting with Annie Sloan’s beautiful chalk paints. It’s no secret that her paint is great for dying fabric but we wanted to see what would happen if we swapped our usual printing ink and fabric paint for Annie’s. The results were fabulous!

We have teamed up with Sweetpea and Betty in Falmouth  and as from today, you can buy BBB garlands made from our very own hand dyed and printed fabric. The colors are beautiful and would be fab for a window, a nursery or even a wedding decoration. Each one is unique and can be personalized if required.

As an Annie Sloan stockist, Sweetpea & Betty run paint workshops, among others, from their beautiful treasure trove of a shop in Falmouth. Mary who owns the shop works with an incredible team of creative women whose skills come together beautifully to create a wonderous shopping experience. More than shopping, Sweetpea & Betty are all about stirring your imagination and passing on their skills so you can recreate a beautiful space of your own.

 The BBB team are over the moon to be working with Sweetpea & Betty in the new year. Watch this space for news on up and coming workshops where we’ll be sharing our ideas with chalk paint and fabric. We can’t wait!

In the mean time they’ll be a BBB project in the January issue of Reloved magazine to kick start 2015. Check out our Pinterest board too. Happy crafting!
