Donation Piece Finished

Looking back, it seems I promised you progress reports on the making of this piece. I did remember to take pictures, but never blogged about it.

I decided to start out with a piece of commercial black fabric that I knew would discharge to orange. I made my lines with  soy wax, then discharged with diluted bleach.

I like the way this looked, but wanted a little subtle color difference, so I dye painted parts of the circles and the bottom area to darken it.

After stitching and shrinking, I added a little hand stitching.  These pictures were taken with my little camera, below are the truer colors

And the detail shot.  This is called "On The Line", and it's 12 x12.
