Blue All Over

Using the ExPort bag of goodies I connected five undyed fabrics, embellished, folded, tore and generally created texture.

The resulting panel became " Blue all Over".  It was dyed with procion dye as one piece.  The canvas and the cottons  each took the dye  a little differently.  The raveled edges of the tears took the dye differently than the woven pieces.  The orange rubbings acted as a resist and show well against the blue.  There are five sections, each worked differently and  seamed together. The piece is edged with blue jean material.

I covered and sleeved a piece of heavy pellon with white cotton and mounted the paned, unquilted.  I am please with the experiment and I hope to dye after quilting and/or embellishing  in the future.
