I got home very late (around 3:00 am my time), and promptly fell asleep due to exhaustion. I had this post prepared, but failed to schedule it. That's why this is much later than normal. I'm off to catch up on the lives of those of you who have visited me these past two days.
Now that my Keys Scrappy Journal is finished, I'm working on another new project, this time a quiltlet.
This quiltlet started with me trying to use the last of my 
I needed something to compliment the background, so I tore another small piece of white bed sheet 
and grabbed some 
fluid acrylics that I watered down.
I was going for an ombre look, or one that gradually blended colors together, going from light to dark. I thought I could create sgraffito, or where I drew lines in the wet paint. That didn't happen, though, so I have to back up and rethink where I'm going with this project.
This is Day 25 of AEDM and I am starting to look forward to the end of the month. Thanks for joining me today.

Aren't Goldens the best? The colors are so rich and beautiful!
Thanks for the info on your finishing recomendation for the tiles. I'm going to try it!
I love the colors you achieved in both of these pieces.
o.k. now I learned that the fabric is made with watercolors?! It looks like rusted fabric- genius!
I'm curious what you ended up doing, as I know your next post is about this post, but I didn't cheat and read them out of order. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, as I am with you-it is a great holiday. Let me hop on over to your next post to see what's in the next segment of the story. Hugs-Erika
Fun to see the start of this quiltlet. I've got some of these paints and haven't used them on fabric yet, but I will certainly do so very soon.
Thanks for the idea.
i like the colors you used too.......happy accidents are good!
