Hoisting the sails…

and making good use of some furnishing fabric swatches by using them for the backgrounds.  This is also where small snippets of fabric come in handy and I’ve learned it’s best never to throw any away!!

The grass is greener…

Painting Bondaweb is one of my favourite things.  I just love watching the wet paint make the paper shrivel up and form rivulets and, because it’s green, when it’s ironed onto the fabric the background will resemble grass.

Déjà vu…

Now to repeat the process and start work on the Long Walk wallhanging.  After tearing the sheet into appropriate sized pieces it’s time to paint the background.  As usual, I layer the fabric so I have plenty of prepped base cloths for a number of projects.
