Judy, a member of "circle of friends" at Artistic Souls, presented the March monthly project and introduced us to Shiva Paintstiks and fabric ink pads to create designs on fabric. We experimented with a black square of fabric and our final piece was a silk scarf, all of which turned out beautifully.
As part of my resolution for 2010 I told myself, "You must finish what you start." and, this is how I finished off my black square. The bird image was transferred to a silk-like fabric and I used my sewing machine to attach it along with the other elements. Sewing layers of fabric together was a little tricky and you can see not centered perfectly but I am still proud of the fact I completed my block. It has left the house as a birthday gift for a treasured friend.

Lovely work! The paint sticks are great to work with.
Working with fabric is special. So tactile. I especially love your design of the bird.
