After sewing art quilts for many years, I started to use paints, inks, etc. to make a softer transition from one color fabric to the next. Now I'm learning to paint with alcohol inks by blowing them around with a straw or other device on the back of photo paper. They flow in an organic way, creating magical colors when they overlap, and shapes that are beautiful and dream like, too. My goal is to use them on fabric, probably canvas, and then sew to create lines and shapes. YouTube is a wonderful learning device. People are generous with their time and talent, and if it weren't for the pandemic, I couldn't have learned as much as I did. Like quilting, there's no substitute for practice practice practice.
