The first tile I wanted to use turmeric in a spray bottle but, I found that you cannot get rid of the tiny granules even after heating it. So I used a makeup wedge and just dabbed it on the tile. After it dried I covered it with my stencil and used blue watercolor to outline the stencil. Not very happy with it, but it is a good exercise to work with what you have.
The second one I did, I loved the color so much I didn't want to cover it up so I tangled behind.
My favorite thing to do is use inks or watercolor and blow them across the page and then tangle them. This is a recent ATC swap with blown watercolor.
Isn't experimenting fun! I went through a lotta liquids and other substances in me "testing" for this project. It was originally a class I did last April after TangleU, and I pre-dyed almost 100 tiles. I do agree that sometimes the color and the pattern of the color are so cool, you want them to be the star, so I love that you simply tangled the background on the 2nd one. Thanks for playing with me this week.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful pieces! I can honestly say that there isn't one I like better than another. They're all gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThey are really all beautiful! I particularly love the orange one. The colors are lovely and the printemps makes a striking border for the color--they almost look like pearls.
