My quilting group recently had a visit from Ann Mitchell of Genesis Creations. Ann held a small workshop on the use of these pure pigment colours called Liquid Radiance and we had great fun in playing around with various fabrics and techniques.
These were some of the colours we tried out, rolling the fabric up to create lines in its surface. The colour pigments are diluted with water which are then sprayed or squirmed or brushed on. I tried the orange which wasn’t a strong mixture-below is my piece after it has dried and been pressed. Not quite as successful as others….
This next one had yellow, orange and purple and although not much orange has shown up the result is still beautiful! You can see one half where I sprinkled some salt, which has the effect of drawing the moisture up and creating spots:
This last one is my favourite:using yellow, magenta and blue and all scrunched up and left to dry:
Quite a few of us are very excited at further trying these colours- a lot quicker than normal dyeing. Her website is genesiscreations.com.au
Some quilters also had some finished projects for display. Lyn had her quilt for our monthly colour challenge:

Lyn-yellow
likewise with Jan:

Jan K – yellow
Dulcie has finished her Crazy Patch quilt which she said she had been working on for about 3 or 4 years but for which she had been collecting bits and pieces for many years. She has made such a beautiful quilt:

There is so much to look at on this magnificent quilt…




Such beautiful stitching and embellishing.

Looks like everyone had a busy month
