Play time usually happens when I try to tidy up my very small work room. I usually find something I had forgotten which distracts me from the reason I went into my room in the first place. In this case I received an email from Quilting Arts Mag with instructions on how to paint faces on fabric using shiva paintstiks. This is the result using only four of the six colours I possess. As I liked the result I think I need to invest in some more colours. I painted the picture on the right on pellon, cut it out and bond a webbed it to the fabric. The faint face on the left was an attempt to paint on bond a web and iron to the fabric, but as you can see, part of it peeled off.
Although the face on the right is more definite....I kinda like the one on the left even more! I like that faded, ethereal quality as it makes the viewer think about how to interpret it. You've inspired me to play with some materials I have but have not used! I got some special fabric and paints at the Knit & Stitch last year that are still in the wrappers!
