Media used range: fabric paints, pigments, Shiva sticks, and textural pastes and mediums. Techniques range from sponging, painting, stencils, sprays and screen-printing. Generally, you will end up with a range of fat quarter or eighth sized pieces, which can be incorporated into projects or built into a sample "book" for future reference. |
