Painted cloth - July

It took me a few days to get back to this cloth.

The first was a 'leftover' from last year's workshop with natural dyes. White cotton treated with milk (protein additive) then layered with onion skins, tied and boiled with alum. A no-brainer there.


These following were the second go around from earlier in the week.
They each received another pass with dilute paint and then once they dried, they were dipped in a very dilute black paint solution, laid flat and crumpled until they dried completely.









They are all interesting but not all will make the cut for Night Sky.
They are each paired, first paint job then today's.
The last one I'll keep for other purposes.
