Still Playing

The square on the left is the one that I sprinkled with salt... not crazy about this process... I can't see any difference in the paint/texture and I couldn't just brush the salt off like I heard you should be able to.

The one on the right is the one I scrunched up... LOVE IT!  Can't wait to try it on a bigger piece of fabric... might have to come up with a project that I can use it in.... would have been great to use on Linda G's block and/or that baby quilt I just did.  Will definitely have to do again.

Today, I'm trying another technique'.  I had asked Dale ( guild member) how I could block off areas of fabric that I didn't want painted or paint running into.  She told me to use blue Elmer's Glue.  The problem with that would be that I would have to wash the fabric to remove the glue when I was ready to move on and that just doesn't sound like a good idea for the project I had in mind.

I got to thinking and wondered "Why can't I use a white crayon?"
Well, it worked!  Here is the pic to prove it... 

OOPS!  forgot that I was in the middle of writing this....  
It's now at least half an hour later.... tried the painting on a larger piece of fabric... the crayon didn't work as well on this one, but it worked enough.  Where the paint bled through will most likely be covered with something else, so we're ok, I think.

What to work on next

 I finished the two gift quilts - and both have been delivered to a parent of the little girl recipient. I have the requested photo from one...
