20 metres of fabric

 

Yesterday I joined my dyed sheet bits together, then late in the day I painted and splodged with a house paint brush on a long stick- the fun part.
NOTE TO SELF - rememer it gets dark and cold and sometimes rains at the end of the day!!
So here I was in the dark, trying to lift the wet painted 20m strip of fabric off the newspaper so that it didn't dry and stick to the paper. I draped it over various stools and things but then couldn't shut the studio door overnight. Hmmmm - I HAVE had rats in there on a previous occasion when I forgot to close the door.
Next morning - no rats, dryish paint and some exciting sections of painted wabi sabi fabric strips.
