Snow Dyed Fabric Spirit painting
I tried the snow dyed fabric as a base for one of my Spirit paintings. The original piece was one of the muslin pieces. I cut it in half and used just one end of it, approximately 8x10". I also wanted to try the addition of cheese cloth for a more textural look. See what you think of this piece and please leave a comment to let me know.
This is the muslin as it looked dyed from the snow dying. I used spray adhesive to put the cloth on a piece of good watercolor paper so it would be stiff and stay in place as I worked with it.
The cheese cloth I got from Stuff n Such in Downs, KS was very fine. I wanted to show the difference from the original cheese cloth and what it looked like after I pulled, tore and stretched the fibers.
The completed piece with all the layering as in my other Spirit paintings. The cheese cloth looked a little bright to me so I took the stamp pads and rubbed over the cheese cloth to tint it slightly and take the bright white away.
