Yesterday I set up a test for the 3rd quilt for Crowbonics because the internal eyes and hands were working on it in spite of me wanting to do something else externally. The 2nd-2nd quilt (second attempt on the second quilt) is not close to being finished but that didn't seem to matter to my internal eyes and hands. Not having the energy to protest or object, this is what I started:
It is a small sample...about 10"x17". I left it to dry yesterday and tomorrow I'll soak it in a bucket of water and scrap off the pieces of paper that didn't adher to the fabric. The result will be a fractured image. I applied more medium and more pressure on the faces. I want less fracturing on the faces. If it works, I'll repeat with a larger sheer that will be a part of the actual quilt.
I also worked with redeeming a failed sheer lamination by cutting out the pieces I liked and then sewing them together. I also wrote over the laminated sheer with a fabric marker as I'm thinking about what it would look like if the same images are repeated on all 3 visible layers: the paper, the sheer and the cotton fabric underneath. I know, I know, I'm rattling on and talking to myself and not considering how tedious it is for a visitor to my blog to make sense of what I'm talking about...but a part of what I do here is like talking myself through the dark...
