I received Kathi's art cloth for the 4th Round:

Kathi's Art Cloth

Round 4

I consider Round 4 like frosting the cake...

Everyone else has come before me to gather the ingredients,

mix them up, bake them and prepare them for frosting.

I decided to go for a layered look...

This is the fourth and FINAL round...

so I don't need to leave room for anyone else.

So I covered the cloth with texture Kathi will love.

I decided to use " Resist " as my technique

for this surface design...

I used sequin waste, rug gripper, plastic mesh

and dry wall tape.

I placed these objects on the fabric, then sponged textile paint over them.

The objects created a resist,

so when I removed them, I was left with the patterns and textures.

When I revealed the cloth to Kathi she said,

"That looks like a Rayna Gilman."

The Flowering Cherry Trees

in the front yard remind me of popcorn...

They started popping out tiny white blossoms last week.
