Play with the same tools!

If you use

  • the same stencils or
  • mark making tools or
  • colors and
  • the same kind of fabric

then it is easier to work them into a completed project.

gelatin print on fabric

I have been using the mark making tools below and stone like stencils to make these gelatin prints on fabric. I am not sure what they will become. Maybe a tote bag.

One of the challenges for me is to use all the fabric that I print! The quickest way to use up some of the large stash it to make a quilt.

So I have a crazy quilt in process. It is kind of a sampler or all my marks. When I started piecing the quilt together, I was glad that I used a lot of the same kind of fabric and colors. That way the mismatched piece go together more easily.
