What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

We left off with the resist piece here.

Then I added a little bit of silver paint. It didn’t show up so I changed to silver paintstik. Next came blue paintstik over a rubbing plate.

I still wasn’t happy with the silver. My philosophy with paint is to go big or go home. It’s only fabric. I added more silver paint, and then added purple paint with a sponge (in the circles) and a brush (background).

I would normally keep adding layers, but this fabric will become a quilted project and I want the quilting to show ...

My OMG for September is an improv painted piece. I started with glue resist on white fabric.

Once the glue dried I added paint.

I painted splotches, thinned the paint, painted more splotches, thinned the paint, etc. The glue has been removed and the paint heat set.

Some of the shapes came out as intended, others not so much.

I think it needs touches of another color to liven it up. Stayed tuned for phase three.
