I had company in my studio yesterday so I worked on several things. I made a couple more blocks for my batik Hunter Star and then cut up the remainder of the strips leftover from the neutral bricks cutting. They are 3" finished size.
I was going through a stack of fabric and pulled out a couple pieces that I just love. I need to cut into this one.
I like this one too. The mottled batiks are so pretty but it is hard to figure out how to use them.
Even with company in your studio yesterday you accomplished a lot. And I would bet you were helping them too. Your mottled batiks look like elegant Easter eggs. If only I could die one that pretty.
I love the mottles batiks and have quite a few in the basket, but, as you say they can be difficult to use, perhaps that's why they've been sitting there for a few years!!
Those two batiks would be awesome for raw edge applique. The changes in color and depth of color make for great shadowing. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your project from yesterday! Especially the fish swimmers. But I already told you that. :-)
That yellow fabric is my favorite. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI know you don't do applique -- but those mottled batiks would be great backgrounds for applique blocks.

There is something very exciting about freshly cut pieces, all ready to use. I think all the potential of a new start and opportunity.

ReplyDeleteThose fabrics are gorgeous. I can't wait to see what you do with them.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the mottles... I love them, but find them challenging to use! Oh so pretty, though...
