17″ x 12″

Materials:

cotton, silk batting, acrylic ink, textile paint

Techniques:

whole cloth painted, stitched

Knots & Tangles
Using too much water to thin paint and make it flow leaves unsatisfactory results! When dried, the color is much less vibrant and uneven marks of pigment remain. Solution: On this, I painted over, but in the future I’ll use a medium instead of water.
