The temperature has dropped a little and I'm just about to illustrate the AaPAMthus.
We're in our first official heatwave for November
I decided to use different fabric for the background. I used a moda print on print fabric and over dyed it.
Now I've just competed drawing the buds on the fabric.
But I'm going to add a lot to it…I'm going to illustrate what's under the ground, the surface and the sky….
I'm not sure just what I will add, but stay tuned…
There's nothing remarkable about this technique, but I dry brushed the ink on the top of the part to be dyed and then wet the rest so the ink flowed down.
The green was dyed graduating up and the purple, graduating down… the colors of the Aggy
The beginning of the illustration
Thanks for sharing the process of the Agapanthus with us.
Will you use any of the beautiful quilting design you created for No 1?
Looking forward to seeing the end result.
Kind regards
Nola
No, I will design another quilt pattern for this one, it will need to be a little less fussy.
Hi Pam
I have just spent a wonderful afternoon looking around your site…what an interesting life you lead…love your travels, the colours of Mexico are so bright and fresh looking.
It is very ‘Hot” here in Melbourne at present.
