Highlighting fabric
1 Attachment(s)
http://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...d=497316&stc=1On the left is the beginning of an applique ,on right is fabric I am trying to duplicate.
I am hoping you people know a way I could highlight my flower because right now it looks very one dimensional. TIA,,,,, Arlene |
Only things that come to mind for me up is to use a batik, or verigated yellow and make couple of sets of petals and layer them to create depth, maybe use a darker yellow for the center too. Good luck looks like it will be really pretty.

Sorry, no help from me, but I think it looks pretty good the way you have it.

You might want to try to cut out the flower and a layer of batting at the same time to puff it up in addition to more layers of pedals.

I would make another set of petals in a different shade of yellow and put behind that cut out. then you could put t layers in the center of different shades. Outline stitch in dark thread.
I've also been told that you can use crayons on fabric to shade it, you use a cloth on top and press with hot iron to melt the crayon and make it permanent. |
I agree with a darker yellow/gold for the center. How about stitching around outer edge of petals with a
dark brown or charcoal thread? (maybe thread the color of the center) |
There is a tutorial on QB on using Derwalt(sp) fabric pencils on fabric? You could use those or do some thread painting/quilting later.
|
Thank you all!

You could use those paint stix. I used them on some wall hangings to add depth of color. They did a great job. They keep forever too.

Trapunto and/or thread painting?
