My workshop efforts

Using the inks I created these two pieces. I plan to use the butterflies to make a small wall hanging for my son's partner who loves butterflies. I will quilt and embellish them so will post the difference when I have done that.

This is the practice bit to learn how to shade and blend using the inks

This is piece is using the fabric paints. I plan to quilt and embellish this and use it as part of my South American Freda Kahlo creation I have been working on.

Judy Perez workshop!

I have just had a great experience working with international fabric artist Judy Perez. We learned to use fabric inks and paints properly. I must admit to dabbling with paints and inks for mixed media work but now I hope to get a much better result.
Have a a look at Judy's amazing silk painted quilt "The Primordial Sea" This has won awards and it is easy to see why although so much better seeing it in the flesh!
