Beyond the doodles
My experiment with doodling on cloth continues -
This started out as a mono print with procion dyes on cotton- I doodled all over ( with do set idea of where it was going -very free form) - I then random hand stitched in grey rayon thread and after that I machine stitched with black polyester thread. I cut out a section for the SAQA Atlantic trunk show that I call "Contemplating" and the rest I cut up then collage back together and machine stitched with a zig zag. This one I call "Meadow's Edge" . Both will be mated and framed .

I have played with this idea myself ... using india ink to outline areas. So far it hasn't been as successful an idea as I had hoped. I suspect I might have to stitch or paint in.
I am alos entertaining the exercise ball … was it easy to get started ?
