I’m still sick, so it is anything in small bursts, and not too demanding. However, I am determined to do something creative at least once a month through 2023. I realise that this sounds a bit ridiculous as I do stitching and sewing pretty much every day, but they are usually from patterns designed by others, and not drawn from my creative well so to speak.
Here, I used plain quilting wait cotton in aubergine, and sprayed on bleach and water solution with a stencil just laid on top to get the nice mottling. Then another
Template for the flower shapes, that were coloured with Inktense pencils and outlined with my laundry maker - no posh Pigma Micron pens for me - I then blended with 100% Aloe Vera gel, which was a tip from the lovely guest they had on earlier in the week for blending the pencils. I heat set just in case, but nothing dulled or came off so I think it’s pretty permanent.
I still have a lot to go on this test piece, but am happy with it so far. The problem is that I have to wait for it to dry in between flowers as I’m using a 12 x 12 stencil.
I’m not sure if I will freemotion around the flower outlines as I am probably going to just use this fabric for making my DMC storage bags as it is just a rough and ready test piece.
Hugs
