Painting on fabric.,

Well here I am again  - playing with my paints.

I used my Inktense pencils - tried out all the different colours first.. and then tried some that I fancied on  the reverse side of the feathers I painted on the other day

Feeling brave - I put pencil to fabric!  I have watched some beautiful videos that

Sherry Roggers-Harrison has made,  showing how she does her fabulous painting on her quilts.

It looks so easy - but of course its is SUCH  skill,  and she does it so well

Didnt think I put enough pencil on at first..

So redid some of the pencils colour..

Not easy to get all that colour ( not  a large space really) to go on very evenly.

So this is it so far and I wish I knew what to do next :)  Probably go round the design with a black ink Gel pen, which I also got from Sherry...

Now I am going to clean up my studio and start some other thing ... and wait for inspiration to call again.

Not sure how I will finish this up... the background ??  The fabric Sherry has supplied with her quilting sample on is really beautiful and so easy to paint on...

I guess this is one more thing that needs PPP :)

Painting on fabric.,

Had a break from piecing today and did some playing 

with paint on fabric for a change.

Made a mess, which I need to clean up now.

Not really quite sure what I am doing... but enjoying the process

Played with this .. found in a box with things I have quilted in the past.  

Two toned leaf is painted with Inktense pencils. 

the other two leaves are with dry paints from Sherry Rogers Harrison

 and the mediaum I used to use the paint and the pencils was Paintfusion, also from Sherry.. 

some with glitter and some without.

 This is my sample piece... not very neat...but that's OK

And this is another play piece I found tin the box..

All practising for some lovely pieces - prepared for me by Sherry... 

You can see what she offers on her blog - all terrific!

Off to clean up now.

Mysteries, Painting on fabric.

I am a little late with Bonnie Hunters Celtic Solstice, but am having a go with it nevertheless.

However - I mad a boo-boo and ended up with this

200 or so blocks all the wrong size!  

Should have checked!

 These ones I wont be using...

Maybe one day I will unpick them.. lol

Making the next lot - Clue #1with Inklingo 

 Working on Clue #2

and doing just 20 at a time...no hurry :)

and HERE is my play time.

I was lucky to get some wonderful goodies when I sent away to Sherry Rogers Harrison

 and got a starter kit and some other scrumptious things to work on.

SO ... here it is all ready for me to start..

And I found lots of things of my own to play on too...

More later
