#18 This one sort of reminds me of # 11, a bit craggy. Components: Armed with Elmer’s washable glue that I used for #16 & 17 shapes and dots were randomly applied to a piece of canvas fabric. The resist was allowed to dry. A wash of red fabric paint was applied and before it was dry a spritz of Quink Ink created some interesting marks. Once the fabric was dry it was rinsed in cold water to remove the glue resist and sadly some of the red color disappeared along with resist and needed to be touched up. Scraps of fabric were sewn on.
Learned: Elmer’s washable glue as a “simple” resist has some possibilities. Heat set the fabric paint "a lot" before washing out the glue resist.

Ahhh yes....this turned out great, and I really like it a lot. And again, it's an abstract piece of art with shapes and lines and dots, and I do like abstracts. It's neat that you used stitching on the shapes and strips.
I love your experimentation with the Elmer's glue, and it's pulling me in. I have a half a bottle of it sitting here in front of me, and also some muslin fabric. I think I know what I might try today
regarding art.
Experimentation is always fun and interesting, don't you think? What's even better is when you share it, so the rest of us can try it. Thanks for sharing. I love the way your creative mind works!
Gee, if I really get motivated, I might even pull my NEW sewing machine out one of these days and actually USE it. I feel so guilty about not using it for a year. I must be crazy! No, I know I'm crazy, because I have a great sewing machine, and haven't even used it. What's up with that...I keep asking myself. I don't know what the answer is.
