OK. I must admit that I have been painting on fabric for quilts for years. But basically I just slopped the paint on using a dry brush technique - and it turned out great. BUT I admit that I never really knew what the heck I was doing. I had certainly never learned how to take care of brushes properly or how to mix colors and layer them to really create depth.
Sooooo - I am taking an online class from Craftsy. I really like their classes and I am learning SO much. The first project was a calla lily and I have struggled mightily to learn how to make paint look blended on the fabric - but I am pleased with this as an initial attempt. And I don't feel like QUITE as much of a klutz now.
The first photo is what it looked like with NO paint, the second is after the leaf was painted the first time ( I added some additional paint later) and the third is with all of the painting done. I still need to quilt it and will post that photo soon.

OMG That is the most beautiful thing I have seen in ages. You are really getting to be an artist and not just a fiber artist. Love ya Jan
