A opportunity to play with smelly substances! Home alone. We all know the story - you buy the ingredients for a particular technique, they sit in a cupboard, but one day you just have to get them out and have a go.
The time had come to make up discharge paste, using Formusol, mixed with thickened print paste. The opportunity, the July Quilt Journal.
I have a postcard bought in Bhuj, Kutch. An image of three ladies carrying, or fetching water. Perfect.
The Water Carriers
For the main image I made a stencil - for the borders arishi shibori. Black fabric discharged. I like the result, although I have to say my work room didn't exactly smell of roses! Windows necessarily left open to refresh the atmosphere!
Notes made, samples kept - now to clear up the mess.
