April Art Daily - Day 28

 After laying out the HAND blocks created so far this month,

I was doubtful they would make it into a solo piece.

Much rearranging later, I think it may work

with a few additional planned blocks.

Color Lifting Again

Still wet, a slice cut off a pool noodle was used to 

"stamp" ovals using DeColorant along with some 

long wavy lines.

Color Lifting Results

 The color lifting added sufficient  interest to the background

teal fabric before I hand appliqued the purple squiggles.

I'm thinking I'll machine quilt in colors to

add more interest to this piece.

Color Lifting Fun

This piece began quickly to have something to

 hand sew at a Fiber Arts meeting. 

 However, after visiting another fiber artist,

 I chose to first add some interest to the background fabric

 using some Decolourant as a "Color Lifter"

The first squiggles were created using an art gum eraser I carved and 

now I free handed some lines around the squiggle sections and

used a clean humus container lip around the circles.

Now to wait until it dries to iron to lift out the color.

A Happy Heart & DeColourant

As part of a demo at the Asheville Quilt Guild, I bravely masked around a dark presenting fabric (upper right)on A Happy Heart created from Free Style Cobblestone block  and applied DeColourant to my a hand made rubber stamp.  After it quickly dried, the iron revealed it successful so I plan to do a bit more.

Decolourant Playing Again

Can you tell the difference from the

Translucent Delcolourant

and the White Decolourant?

Hand made and store purchased

stamps and Decolourant

can create fun results.
