Playing with color

I want to do some experimenting with silk chiffon, & decided to paint several small pieces different colors. I used the Dynaflow that I just bought. I like the fact that it's thin & flows nicely. It also looks neat when spritzed with a spray bottle. I wonder if salt works on it? I didn't feel like running upstairs to get any, maybe next time. In the photo above the 2 smaller pieces on the far right are dryer sheets that I used to mop up paint off the surface underneath, & the 2 pieces of fabric below are pieces that my friend Kathy gave me. The 1st is one she bought in Holland. It hand a clear white background, with splotches of bright yellow & blue on it. The one below is a piece that she and stamped with green ferns & black with blue winged dragonflies on white. I used both as clean up from the painting, then sprayed with water & smooshed them around in a plastic bag to get fuller coverage. I'm laying them out on the hot tub to dry. ( I did ask her if she minded if I color them up a bit, for some reason, I don't use much white).

This last photo is a PINK Yarrow. We have Yarrow growing all over. It's a weed in Alaska, but mostly you just see white. I was tickled Pink (groan, I know bad pun) to find pink in my yard. In Michigan you have to buy Yarrow at the nursery & plant it in your garden. Of course there you find Queen Ann's Lace growing as a weed in the fields & ditches. Here you find it in fancy bouquets for lots of money from the florist! One man's weed is the next one's wildflower!
