Something About Nothing

I love this stuff. This time I used the color magnet with a couple of thermofaxes I made (the writing and eyes on the left), a stencil I made with my Silhouette (middle fabric),  and a new thermofax I received from  Carol Sloan  (bee on the right). Here are the fabrics after the Color Magnet was applied and dried onto pfd: And here they are after they were dyed using  Fiber Reactive Procion dyes in plastic baggies: Can you see why I love this stuff? The less dye you use the better the contrast. . .  . . . and, for better or worse,  the dye is attracted to the smallest bit of the color magnet. I was even able to layer the color magnet and have it all come out perfectly. The dye also attracted to the portions where the dye did not cover the background. This last piece was my attempt at a mosaic piece for  The Printed Fabric Bee   and it is my least favorite. I wonder how this would over dye? ...

I played around a bit more with color, gradient and texture in the zen doodle from my last post.  Here's the before texture photo:  The color and lines makes this one feel more masculine to me. My friend,  Anneliese , suggested turquoise with red so I drew a new piece and started on the turquoise.  I then decided that I didn't like the dots and lines in the flowers so I removed them all with photoshop and then. . . . . . somehow ended up adding yellow instead of red!  Next time I will play with the red! Anyone have another color combination they think I should try?

Rich color and so much possibility. Love it!
