I'm supposed to be painting the bathroom

I'm supposed to be painting the bathroom but could not resist painting a bit on my work in progress. It is the same design as the fabric painting in my blog logo but with different colors.

The white lines left by the Elmer's glue resist did not provide enough contrast so I am painting the lines with black Pebeo paint.  I like the contrast and the "painterly" look.   I plan to mount it on a round canvas for hanging once quilted.  Half quilt and

I tried two projects in the past two weeks with black resist but the resist looked plasticy no matter how much I thinned it.  I threw away the half-full bottle of black resist; not wasting my time or fabric on that anymore!

Suzan, this is awesome! I like the white, but the black really does give a beautiful definition. Good call. Keep up the good work and good for you on switching your paint brush to be artistic. Ya' gotta do, what ya' gotta do!

I love your design! I like the look the black Pebeo paint gives, especially with the brighter colors in the new piece. Good contrast. This looks way more fun than painting the bathroom! Thanks for posting on my blog. I really appreciate your comments.
