I've had inspiration about some monoprints I made recently ....

After the first series of monoprints which I framed as individual prints, I tried printing a larger piece of fabric with the idea that I would cut it up and work with the smaller pieces.

Nice idea but I still wasn't sure where I was going with these monoprints .... till I was sorting out some of my hand dyed fabric and found some pieces that seemed just right .... and here is the result .....

The red brown strip was initially a bit stark so I added some paintstik rubbings to soften the effect .... I'm very pleased with the result so now for the quilting !!!

In fact I was so pleased thought I'd do a little more monoprinting .....
