| Completed wall-hanging 'Drought Mud' |
 |
| Post card # 60 |
Most everyone have seen dried and cracked mud in the summer or especially during a drought period when rain has not fallen to keep the earth in a moist condition.
Eventually the technique was used as a small quilt which was part of a series of quilts I did called 'Back of Beyond'. This experimental sample began as a mono print. The fabric paint was firstly painted onto a sheet of glass. The crack marks were drawn into the paint. While still wet the fabric was pressed and rolled onto this single pattern. After the printing process, the fabric was machine stitched and burnished with Treasure Gold with a touch of a blue Shiva Stick. It gave a great impression of 'Drought Mud' which was the name I chose for this small wall hanging.
