Here is where I am at with this painted fabric. This started out white. I added the background colors and then have added some more designs with screen printing, stenciling and stamping. I haven't yet decided if I'm done with it or if I'll add anything more. Best to let it percolate for a day or so.
Remember the sponge I showed you in the previous post? Well here is how it looks once used as a stamp. This is the light colored sponge, that had more air space or texture holes in it. I cut a chunk of the sponge from the main sponge so that my sponged design was not so large. I really like how it looks.
And here is the coordinating paper towel to complete the ensemble. I always like to keep a paper towel close at hand when painting because it works so well for cleaning the paintbrush and using up excess paint. And in the end I can use it for art making too. Double bonus!
Here is a sneak peek at one group of my hand dyes that are soaking in the sink. I did two groups of 2-color gradations, one group was golden yellow and grape and the other group was orange and grape. They are both very similar in the color results, with small variations between the two groups. I saw that Vicki had created these color gradations a while back and just drooled over the colors in these gradations...so I had to create some of my own. I'll show the completed fabrics tomorrow along with their matching perle cotton threads.
This is another Etsy purchase I made recently. This is a clay tile with a small art quilt attached. I just loved it and had to add it to my collection. I bought this from Clay n Fiber. She does such lovely clay work.
