The dust bunnies are gone and I'm back to creative pursuits. I copied the above picture from the Quilting Arts DVD featuring Judy Coates Perez. I then painted it with fabric paints, quilted the background, water colored the mat (it was white) and framed the piece. It hangs in my quilt studio. I call it "Bird on a Limb". I just love the colors. Painting on fabric can be challenging. It takes time and patience and a steady hand (no Starbucks here). It also gave me an opportunity to break out my water color crayons and play. I've used oil paint sticks before but never ones that were for water color. I think I'm in love. Time to find some watercolor paper and play!Monday, March 24, 2008
