Playing with Fabric

Today I worked on creating fabric for a black/white/gray project.  I monoprinted some white Kona fabric with black Setacolor fabric paint. Here is a photo of the supplies I used:

And here is a sample of the printed fabric:

On black Kona cotton fabric, I used a decolorant to remove color to create grayish-white dots:

Peel Away The Layers

I finally got around to using tea bag papers in my artwork. It reminds me of a thin layer of skin. Underneath this layer of "skin", I used a patchwork of brown and tan wool. Putting this small artwork on top of regular fabric didn't seem to work. I decided to dye cotton batting in persimmon. This idea came from my friend, Linda Friedman's blog.  http://lindasartquilts.blogspot.com/2010/07/wildfire-tribute-to-all-wildland.html
