Okay, I have so many compliments on this piece-
-beautiful, well-placed watercolor fabrics and pattern that draw the eye to the cross
-the cross-hatched cross
-the wispy feathers ( does the whitewashing involve making those pebbled loops , by any chance, or using a white thread with a second color?)
- your title
- that you would donate it

Bravo! Stunning!

So, the technique is a painting technique. I used white fabric paint-SoSoft-along with a little SoSoft Pearl Medium and Textile Medium. Then I added some water and tested the paint mixure on some floral fabric. My goal was to have a thin film of paint so the fabric underneath still showed through. Just like a whitewashed fence where you can see the wood grain. Then I painted every single feather. Even the light ones, so they all have a little shimmer from the Pearl Medium. Hope that answers all the questions? If not-ask away!!!
Sorry I didn't get back to the questions sooner but I work full time still.

Bravo! Stunning!

The pebbled centers are thread stitched and done with the same thread as the feathers.

What is whitewashing? That is beautiful.

Fabric painting with a very thinned down paint
