#7 - Acrylic inks on fabric. I used machine stitching to affix the pieces of the collage. The collaged piece is attached to canvas using matte medium. I also coated it with matte medium, to hold a few loose edges in place.

#8 - The fabric was cut from a nylon half-slip I found at the Salvation Army. I colored the fabric with Inktense blocks and pencils. Wetting the colors turned the Inktense chalk to permanent ink. I added batting, and a piece of backing cotton. Machine stitching added detail to the painting. The mini quilt is mounted on the canvas using matte medium.

#9 - The fabric is crepe de chine painted with acrylic inks. I had piled the fabrics, then added inks and water. The dark markings are from the ink settling at the bottom of the pile. I heat set the ink with an iron. The three black lines at the bottom of the piece were made with what was supposedly a permanent marker. Guess not...
