Inks, Chalk and a Creative Prompt...

Using the Tsukineko Inks I added color to some left over plain white fabric. I let it dry in the sun and heat set it with an iron. After heat setting, I re wet the fabric and used Artist's Chalks to scribble out some flowers. Again, I dried and heat set with the iron and dryer. I don't know how permanent the color is, but it will never be washed so I'm okay with it.

The butterfly is a leftover from the butterfly project. I added color in the same way as above, but some washed away when I rinsed it, I'll add more with paints or markers. Fellow quilter Kathleen Murphy has recently faced some of her work rather than traditional binding. I really like the look- So, I'm going to quilt these little pieces up with brightly colored threads and practice facing them. I think I'll put them in our downstairs bathroom, which the kids recently painted Jalapeno Pepper Green.
