I've been working on a new monsterpiece, inking antique civil war map fabric, and I guess I had inking on the brain. This piece is actually dye painted with Procion fiber reactive dyes very faintly onto the fabric. I had no thickening agent on hand so instead I used aloe Vera gel to thicken the dye to aid in keeping it where I wanted it to be. Then I used matching thread to quilt heavily over the painting with easy long very close stitching. I must say I was rushed on this piece so it is not my best work but it is done!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03516594797915223432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-52813235114462845042012-11-17T20:43:42.234-05:002012-11-17T20:43:42.234-05:00This is great as it represents the meaning of &quo...This is great as it represents the meaning of "travel" in your life for so long, and so well depicted.

I will be happy to give you an email lesson on how to post photos, but meanwhile, what fun to LOOK at your quilt without a narrative and try to "read" it. I agree with JW that your threadwork is amazing!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01193658783135430973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-11971340749606823582012-11-15T19:45:30.567-05:002012-11-15T19:45:30.567-05:00Wow, your threadwork has created such wonderful de...Wow, your threadwork has created such wonderful depth and color contrast in this piece.
