Grey Day

Only grey in relation to the fabric painting that I have done today. Doesn't look much at the moment, but once dry and ironed these pieces will be good. It's all in the creases.
I will be selling at The Quilters Guild A.G.M. in March, which is in Swansea this year, just along the coast from where I live.
Last night it suddenly dawned on me that time is ticking away and I need to get painting and painting if I want to have enough stock. They look a bit dull but these colours always sell well as they are good for rocks etc.
Painting in this colour reminded be where my love of painting my own fabric began.
Below is one of my C&G pieces, which took the cliffs and rock strata of the coast here as my inspiration.

This piece has now been hanging in the sun room at the front of for about 3 or 4 years now and it hasn't faded at all (Another reason why I like painted as opposed to dyed fabric so much).

There is a lot of stitching in this piece but apart from the thread it is made from white fabric and black fabric paint, watered down to varying degrees to get the different shades.

I am going to be doing a lot of painting over the next few weeks and I will try and blog often and show you how I do what I do, in case you fancy having a go yourself.
