Solids and Semisolids

Having recently created a great portfolio based motifs with an Indian theme, I found myself in need of a single color all over print. These prints help support and draw out the multicolor prints, they allow the eye a resting place within a quilt block. And needless to say,  if you want to make a quilt, you need a bunch of these.The above photo shows the single color design in-progress. I ended up blacking out the entire background of this print before burning it as a Thermofax screen. Now, I seek to print many, many, single color designs.
And although I think single color prints are boring to print…. I still need many of them… So I choose to put my reservations on hold until I print enough to make some pretty quilts! I just need to get past this part. Wish me luck.

I am an artist who loves the outdoors. I dancewalk with confidance. My artistic medium of choice is using, thickened Procion MX dye, to multicolor print my own cotton cloth. Appliqué is the bomb diggity.

One thought on “Solids and Semisolids

  1. I love this design and the blocked out background makes the pattern show even more. You are creating such fun fabric!
