Playing with FMQ

Between my DH sleeping I played a bit :)

Feather is a bit different.. I was trying out a new pink ceramic pencil that my friend Liz got for me at Quiltwest. 
 Luckily I have several pieces of fabric ready to sew on when I get some minutes free.
I am wanting to try to use my Inktense water-colour pencils to paint on my fabric, so may have a go on this piece to see what happens.
This is with a single layer of wool wadding.

  3. The feather has a lovely flourish and I'm jealous of your McTavishing, I have a lot of practice to get that one looking half way decent. I love the way the wool puffs up.
