I really enjoy the layering, scraping, and mark making. Made some more triangle shapes and there you go! This is how I resolved the extra space on the board since it was not a square proportion. I decided what size laser print I wanted for the collage, then auditioned it for its just right position on the quilt. Then I moved them to the board in position. Here you can see the pieces all ready for “quilting” onto the prepped board, and a trial piecing. Using tweezers, I mono-printed each piece on both sides. This was a simple pattern, so I took another path: Deli Paper to the rescue! I precut the pieces (minus the seam allowance), and dipped the required number of pieces into the same color mixture so it would resemble print fabric. Nothing I did worked, and it made a mess on my Cuttlebug plates! I rolled it in pasta roller, put it in the freezer, and still had a mess. Next, I experimented with the template pieces cut direct from thin encaustic medium. Worked great and I like the faint granulation. Sometimes you don’t need much, and it is easier than mixing. I have the app, and it is a great tool! Working with plain encaustic medium, I scraped a bit from soft pastel sticks to get my color quickly. Color scheme? Used Robert Burridge’s Goof Proof Color Wheel. The original is 12” x 9”, soft pastel.Ī quilt square named Delft Mill fit with the Tulip. I searched through my painting archive and found a painting of a tulip that had nice bright colors. To get the surface as smooth as possible, alternate a Ranger tacking iron, scraping with a razor blade, and fusing with the heat gun. Prime the panel with two coats of clear medium, fusing each with heat gun. encaustic medium (I used a few scrapes off a soft pastel to get my colors).Deli Paper (thank you mixed media artists).Although I worked with silk thread and the smallest silk gauze for needlepoint (40 stitches per inch), this is a quilt pattern created in deli paper and encaustic. Once a fiber artist, always a fiber artist.
