PERFECT Paint day

Good thing I don't have any burning desire to sew right now. Decided today to concentrate on analogous colours of Blues, Greens and red. I stretched the green a bit into a lot of lime but its still good. And because the sun was brilliant today, the salt and the sun prints worked very well.

So here are the four in situ, on the grass.


 The blue was salted


Mop for blues and red

Sun printing using grass and clover and a few mum leaves


Tiny stars from the dollar store


After clearing away the salt and ironing, this proved to be a fine example. There were 3 shades of blue used here, leaning to turquoise.


Using graduated shades of green with increasing yellow, again 3, nice clear sun prints.


This one worked better than expected. These Stars were less than .5 cm in size. Nice clean edges.

 
And another rather ethereal mop cloth. The creases are actually channels of migrated paint. When the first colour blue was set to dry, I rumpled the cloth so it would migrate.
