I thought about using black. I also thought about using all batiks and found the colors easily enough, but couldn't find enough very pale stuff that I liked for the 'white', plus I decided to use "stash". My colors are all white on color, tone on tone, except for one yellow that has teeny flowers in all the other colors so I couldn't resist.

Can't wait to see the black!!

At first the small pieces were difficult to manage, especially the first two rows (of both the color strips and the DNP). Then I "discovered" starch and things went much smoother! So much so that I bought a gallon of MaryEllens (which I dilute!).
