Experimenting.......




Link
Yesterday I tried out a few tecniques in post card format.
As I'm involved in a "one a month" (Art) journal quilt I thought I'd try out my ideas in a smaller format to see if they would work;
I hope to continue with my theme of the Murray River,and this month I wanted to look at the blue-green algal blooms that generally occur with summer heat and poor river flow.
Having just acquired some Angelina fibres I wanted to try blending them with silk tops already in my stash:

So the upper pic is my interpretation of blue-green algal blooms;
The lower pic was a bit of a play:
Trash bag or confetti quilting with a lace motif painted in Lumiere paints and the leaf an (Ozecraft) dye.
All good fun and fairly satisfactory
