A New Technique for “Effervescent”

Maybe you’ll remember a couple of months ago, when I was experimenting with mono printing. When I tried it (with thickened dye) on slick vinyl, the dye beaded up badly. At first, I thought it was worthless, but then I realized that the resulting lacy effect was both beautiful and useful. So much so, that I stitched a small sample into a whole cloth quilt. I’m calling it Effervescent.

As you can see, I’ve used black stitching to outline the shapes. I love the effect.

The piece is available for purchase. Find the dimensions and price on my website.
