fabric journal progress

I've been experimenting with the TAP
( Artist Transfer Paper )
my image is from a little statue in the farmhouse
I stayed in
on a retreat in Greece.
It always prints out pink ...
but I love it !




so do I use it as the middle page
or with pages in between ?
I like the way shown above.



I'm not so fond of it printed onto Calico
I prefer it printed straight onto the dyed watercolour pages
of our journals.

I'm really enjoying Kiwi Carole's course...
she keeps accusing us of drinking rum in class
I have NO IDEA where she gets that idea from...
Hic !

  6. Lovely work Penny. I tried the "rouge" yesterday. If you get a little on your finger and run it along the wet edge of a piece of paper, it makes a nice "aged" edge. Thank you :o)
