To make this piece, I first randomly pieced scraps of green and light green prints. Then I painted the design onto the fabric - with the Tsukineko inks. Painting over the seams can be a little messy - but the final effect - especially after quilting, is nice I think. I really must break out my 'brand new' (now 4 years old, never used yet!) airbrush. It would make a much cleaner effect over the seams!
Very pretty! Love the bird, flowers, and vine. What is your technique? Are you using your own fabrics or something store-bought. Are you painting on the fabric? If yes, why did you piece it across the flower, etc?
ReplyDeleteI so love this piece! I like the randomness of the pieced fabrics and the way the painting brings it all together!
