Well having finished the two exploding books, I was stuck. I didn't know what to do next. So I read some books on Kindle Unlimited and played Solitaire. Not really very creative!
However in the back of mind was always 'What shall I do with this?' This being several pieces of cotton fabric that I had used breakdown printing to print on.
I put the photo on my Facebook page and asked the question there. One of the suggestions was to cut it up and sell it. I did so with the squarish piece bottom left.
I'm really not fond of the green and one of the other suggestions was to overdye the fabrics. I still might try that.
The thing is - do I look at the fabric and say 'aqueducts and canals' or do I look at it and say 'Venice architecture'.
I decided I'd play with the latter idea first. I got out my Venice colours of fabric paint.
I cut the right hand piece off the wide fabric.
I used the paint through some Thermofax screens but the paint was a bit too runny an splurged too much.
I printed onto repair tissue instead.
Then I tore pieces of the printed tissue and using gel medium, glued it to the fabric.
I certainly had more control with the repair tissue. But the fabric is still too green for Venice.
Back to the drawing board!
Thanks for joining me today
