2 little sisters

My work in progress.

I'm still using up acrylic paints from the class.

A favorite is Luminescense Halo which is still viscous after a few weeks. FW Acrylics seemed to work well but the little samples dried up.

I've had to spray the fabric with workable fixative to prevent bleeding when using Rotring Transparents.

I don't like the results from the folk acrylic craft paints at all; just kind of sits there like a blob.

Lettering on Fabric!

Fresh from a course with Lisa Engelbrecht from California, a super talented, vibrant artist; this is a piece in progress from the class. She came up to Alberta this month & taught at the 3 major calligraphic guilds in Alberta. The Lettering on Fabric in Edmonton was 2 days long.

It will no doubt sit here for months while i play with different transfer image possibilities to replace these color copies of my big sister & I. Working with acrylic is tricky; it doesn't flow through nibs with reservoirs.

It all started with a few words; I believe from Carly Simon "two little sisters gazing at the sea...wondering what their future will be".

I'd like to know more about the song.
