Mixed Media
At the May VCQ (Virginia Consortium of Quilters) meeting, I took a class with Catherine Etter using mixed media - fabric, paint, paper, discharge and other embellishments. This is my (unfinished) piece, elements are glued down but not layered and stitched. A few more things may be added in the process. It was a fun day, learned several new techniques.

Stink Bugs!
I see it's been over a month since I added to the blog - my intention was at least once a week! I'll try to do better!
These are my "Bloomin' Stink Bugs!", postcards that I did for a Virginia Consortium of Quilters postcard swap. I used the shield shape of the stink bug's body in 2 sizes to create a flower-like design and screen-printed it on a hand-dyed fabric that has a first layer of gelatin plate printing. Paints are Jacquard Lumiere textile paint. Machine stitching enhances the flower design.
