Tissue-Bleed Fabric WIP's

I had a little extra time today, and did some free-motion quilting on the tissue-bleed fabric I created at my last art quilt bee meeting.


This is the piece where I doodled with neocolor II crayons over the fabric, and sealed it with Textile Medium.  I fused it to a piece of Timtex, a very stiff interfacing.  Then I did some free-motion machine quilting on my DSM in two different variegated threads.  


I plan to make a journal cover from this one.

I also started a few fabric bookmarks from the scrap pieces.


These will be zigzagged around the edges and maybe have some funky fibers added.

Last night we went to see Gravity at the IMAX.  Wow,  a very compelling plot! And it had gorgeous, beautiful scenes of the earth from space.  I highly recommend this movie!

Jeanne, What an interesting project(s)! I think I will have to remember to pick up some colored tissue paper next time I am out and give this a try. All kinds of ideas are running through my head now. Need to go back and read your other posts on this technique. Thanks .... I think!!! By the way, your log house is looking fantastic!
