| 8 X 8" Hand Dye Painted Cotton by Eileen Gidman
After washing the fabric from the first
painting session (note previous post of July 27), I added details by
activating the dye this time rather than working on soda soaked
fabric. Darker colours were added to the raspberries as well
calligraphic drawing of details on the leaves. Light areas were left
to show the sunlight on the leaves, stems and berries. Those small speckles were added for
additional interest to the background.
As well, similar motifs were
painted on some pastel green and yellow fabrics. What a difference
the brand of fabric made! More on that later.

Eileen the color on those raspberries, gorgeous!
My mouth is watering...
I'm always amazed at how the small details can make a difference - those speckles at the bottom just activate the whole thing, and make the raspberries really stand out!
