the fabric piece i combined with the drawing is small cloth #1. and i want to leave it as is as a control for my experiments. i will make another and try to draw on it. freehand.
...i did several prints today. one was a a print of the double exposure itself. i printed (using the freezer paper method) over a muted tan yarn dyed plaid to give the background a textured look and a more muted base. i love it as a start because i can see the two elements together. the first step was baste it to a backing and then to outline the dots with the magic thread. my idea is to fill the dots with the same fabrics as the control and then just redraw the lines that get covered up. i feel this will give me a look close to what i want. i like it.
i am thinking of holding a free workshop here on wednesdays. what do you think? workshop wednesday where what if works itself out.
