Sample
This is not my simple sample.
This is my, you can get real fancy with this technique on your own, sample.
In true Melly Testa fashion, I completed my Chicago Quilt Festival samples today. I was given quite a bit of fabric (thankfully!), and figured I should show folks how to enhance and utilize the cloth and colors available. By the end of the day, I had five samples. I thought i'd done three and wondered if I had enough.
I usually do too much.
I like seeing lots of samples. I like seeing what works, or doesn't and being able to analyze why and what is happening to make me like the work (or dislike it). So my style is to inundate. Some folks like being told exactly what to do to achieve a particular result. I am wishy-washy on this point because the final analysis on this point is experimentation and making mistakes.
Luckily, paint is a very forgiving media to work in! If you mess up, the opaque nature of this paint will cover and hide your flubs.
I love flubs.
I need a t-shirt that says, 'I love flubs'.
I need to say, one more time, it feels great to make stuff and be able to post about it!
