The base fabric was painted with Dye-na-flow, when it was dry, water soluble crayons were applied through two different thermofax screens. I didn't care for the way it was developing . . . it looked too pretty. I decided to put it away for a couple of weeks.
When these new permanent markers arrived, I had to test them. I added a layer of writing to the surface. Interesting, but I didn't want the writing to be the focus. Now what?
It's too monochromatic, it needed some intense color. Circles were added with permanent markers and Tsukineko ink. Better . . . but too bright.
I decided to integrate the layers by glazing with two colors of Jacquard Textile Paint. I applied the paint to the entire surface with a dry sponge. The glaze knocked the intensity down a notch.
A subtle change, but much better.

I like how this has developed. It's amazing what layers can do!
That's very cool!
Camarillo was my quilt group when we lived in Moorpark. I liked the piece of fabric in the original but have to admit that the additions add a lot of life.
A perfect example of "if you don't like it, keep going."
Fantastickness. Thanks for taking photos at each step of the way. It's fun to live in your brain (for a teeny tiny while...)
