While Away

While I was away teaching for the week at the Fletcher Farm Art School in Ludlow, VT I had time to work in my art journal.

Inspired by my students, I carved a few new stamps and took out a stencil. This is what I came up with.
I added the little bit of turquoise when I get hone.

For whatever reason the textile paints used directly on the paper (without gesso) leave a rough and matt
finish. It almost looks like the surface of stucco. I am not sure why that happens but I love the results.
I'm thinking this would make a great fat quarter design.

What do you think?
