from reversible PVA glue to dropcloth


Procion MX on cotton, screenprinted with reversible PVA glue.

Another cloth for the shibori quilt in blue and white. It is an altered part of the stitched shibori shown before. This one was too neat, but alright for quiltcloth. The PVA glue dissolved already. I don't mind but for this one I wanted clear lines as in the middle part. That will not happen with reversible PVA glue.

So I tried something else. I screenprinted it on an interfacing - Vilene - and started printing with that one. It is a methode I learned from Jane Dunnewold last year in Munchen. I used normal acrylic paint to make a negative.

This one has no clear lines at all but it is much better. I am going to use the both of them in my blue and white quilt.
In the end I was fond of the print together with the dropcloth underneath.
