Myrna is well on her way to make history the theme of her garment. We loved what she had done.
I am staying with a bird theme and working on fabric for a Spring blouse. This is my sample trying out a method where I put on splashes of color "wet on wet" then put on the gutta and paint. I wand an in distinct look. I am going for flying flocks of green and pink parrots.
Today I hope to get this larger piece painted. You can see how I started out with blotches of color first. Then I drew in the birds with gutta and will paint over the blotches leaving them as my background. I really didn't know if this would work or not, but I am pleased with the results I got.
I finished my crow vest. I really like it, now where to wear it?
I did a yoke of silk dupioni frayed feathers to give it something extra.
This is a detail of the yoke and the back.
This is a detail of the front yoke and painted birds.
Keep painting. It takes awhile to paint enough fabric for a garment, but I am having a great time with these projects. On February 4 I will show you an edge finish I think you will find very interesting.
