"Hand-in-hand"

This is the theme for the next exhibition of our art group to coincide to the multicultural festival end July.
What I would really, really love to do is create a chain of paper dolls into a Mobius strip that way, either 3D or drawing, but I don't have the technical skills to do either....If you don't know what a Mobius strip is, search images in google.

What I do have is the ability to make a paper doll chain and a quilt I do not want to keep as it is.

I have paints, mediums, a brayer, which is a hard roller to roll paint for block printing, but I am considering using the brayer to roll paint lightly over the quilt, covering to top layer, but leaving the deeper, stitched lines.

I can use the paper doll chains as stencils.....

Maybe I can do something with this quilt?

We went to a wonderful art opening this afternoon of paintings and small scultptures.
Looking and chatting about art, I was thinking where to go with windmills. As it is, I definitely do not like it.
I don't like the development of the design and I hate the way the quilt isn't square.
Maybe I ought to get some paint and brayer and just roll some acrylic paint over it? Maybe I can add some medium to make it transparant?
Maybe i can cut the quilt up?
Here is the eternal question:
What if.......

Windmills of you mind...finished

Actually, I finished it a few weeks ago, ready for the "Musical Gems" exhibition.
Here are some images, thank you Tessa for taking the photos.

Am I happy with it?
Not altogether.
Once again I took shortcuts, was too lazy, too much in a hurry, whatever you call it, but I didn't set the printing on the organza, thinking, what the hell, I am not going to wash this quilt. No need for setting. Which only takes a quick rinse in detergent....

Then, when the quilt was completed, I wanted to flatten it.  Great, I know how to do that: spray with water, stretch and pat the quilt and let it dry....

Too late I noticed the printing on the text started to run....bugger....

I was lucky to find the hand, a piece I did last year for the Beatles card " I want to hold you hand" but when I had made it, it was too large. So that came in "hand"y!

What's my next project?

I bought some gorgeous fabric in PNG where we spent Easter this year and I want to make a tablecloth.

I left my camera in PNG, the family will bring it back when they visit in a few weeks. Until then, I cannot take photos.
