Started off with Free Motion Graffiti under the tutelage of Alisa Burke who is an artist that likes to break the rules. She introduced us to stamping on fabric, painting on fabric and then cutting out the shapes to applique onto our fabric and using all sorts of found objects in our work.
I started out by stamping all over a piece of fabric and then adding a few splashes of color with more paint (just plain 'ol fifty cent acrylics you can buy at JoAnn's or Michaels) and then journaling a few thoughts with a Sharpie pen:
Later I added some graffiti free motion stitching to the piece:
But, being the good little "Quilter" that I am, instead of adding the letters I had painted during class I cut some fabric letters to applique to my piece:
Now I do believe I need to get out the paints again...what do you think?
