And finally...the end result.

I just know you've been dying to see the results! Well here you go, all dried and heat set...ready to be used. This is the front of the background piece. And the back.
And here is the cheesecloth I dunked in the leftover pigment.

And the front of a sand piece.


And it's back.




Another sand piece.



And it's backside.







Yet another sand fabric.




and the other side.












And this is the piece I did with the molding mat. As you can see, I lost most of the detail of the shells. So this just lets me know you need a firmer object to use for rubbing.






But the back will work well. So even a failure will work!







A very enjoyable day with some great one of a kind fabric as a result. Next, to turn it all into a quilt. But that will be for another day!

  3. I like Vicki's comment... :o)

    I may be asking the obvious, but as they are watercolour pencils, what stops them from washing out? Does heat setting them do the trick?

  4. I can't decide which I like better, the fronts or the back.

  6. Luckily the fabric dyeing doesn't tempt me at all - I don't need any more work and I don't have the space anyway. I'm curious now how you're going to use these fabrics.
