Playing with Paint

I am having so much fun working my way the first lesson!

The second process was to scrunch the wet fabric up and then dab it with paint. 

This piece is a product of impatience.  I stopped the process before the colours had run too far.  I really like the effect though.  When the paint was starting to dry on the top of the scrunched up wad of fabric I dabbed it with bronze paint.

This  is a photo of a piece in progress the blue is just popping!  I am trying to be very patient with this one and it's 3 friends on the plastic sheet. 

It is so cold in my sewing room. I've had to move these into the living room to sit in front of the fire over night.  They were still damp this morning, so I still need to wait!  Grrrr.  It's a good job I've had to come to work, otherwise I might have been tempted to get the hairdryer out! VBG!

When I'd finished painting the wet fabric, I still had plenty of paint on my palette and nowhere to dry anymore wet fabric!  So what to do?  I used my little foam brush and had some fun with dry fabric!

I think I like these!

I've had this little wall hanging floating around my sewing for months.  I made it late last year.  When we moved in April it got buried in a pile of "stuff".  Last weekend I tidied and rearranged the small room I now have to sew in and Lo and behold guess what reappeared?

I now know why it wasn't finished.  It really lacked something.  I put it back on the pile and continued painting.  I ended up with spare Bronze paint on the palette so I thought I try using a sponge roller to add paint and texture to the quilted feathers.  I think it worked!

I'd really love to know what you think of my playing!
