Today I just wanted to do a quick, not too messy print on a piece of cotton. So I got my Gell printing sheet out. I dyed the white cotton with teabags just to knock it back a shade and then printed a string design using a magnesium blue ( I think) acrylic.
I just wanted a pattern that I could do some embroidery on. I haven’t done any for a while and wanted to sit in front of the TV embroidering and relaxing. Which is exactly what I have been doing this afternoon. I’ve put together some threads in complimentary colours and am just straight stitching at the moment. Nice.
Embroidery version to come later but I did use Procreate to try out different colours which was extremely useful. Unfortunately my Apple Pencil won’t charge so I had to use my fat ungainly fingers to colour in the pattern so excuse the awful flat images below.
