So far, I love using commercial fabrics in unique way…. but hope to eventually give stamping and low immersion dyeing etc. a try. Thanks for being an inspiration. So glad you are over at "Running with Scissors" too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15696967523773383660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436421032239107606.post-42105449652300231462014-07-17T17:39:39.522-04:002014-07-17T17:39:39.522-04:00I have not tried batik.

But with this round robin, I was mainly playing and seeing what techniques I could add to give it some variety. What ended up happening though, is that for the most part I did techniques side by side instead of layering the way I had intended to do... that was part of the fun... letting the fabric tell me what to try next! <br /> Judy Sall Fiber Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05172226619205640720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436421032239107606.post-47038823284289460002014-07-17T12:53:55.891-04:002014-07-17T12:53:55.891-04:00Well, I'm glad that at least you (Beth & J...Well, I'm glad that at least you (Beth & Judy) are reading this post!

I need to give that a try. Re: suggestions for what more to do to these pieces, I'm always in favor of studying the piece for awhile before I go on... I think using contrasting paints to add shapes to them might be fun to try... can't wait to see what you decide to do!Judy Sall Fiber Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05172226619205640720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436421032239107606.post-65933973107084343352014-07-17T05:41:58.077-04:002014-07-17T05:41:58.077-04:00I love them Laura.
