Can I really walk on my new floorcloth?
A. Yes, you can walk on them, and so can the family dog! All of my textile art starts as very heavy 100% cotton canvas. I then paint two coats of artist’s gesso, then an acrylic latex basecoat, followed by artist grade acrylic paints (with a high pigment count for rich and vibrant colors!) to execute the design, and ending with five to six coats of acrylic varnish. They are very durable and if kept up properly can last for decades! (I would not recommend walking on it with spike-heeled shoes, though).
