a few more tweaks and we're done

close up of the french knots for texture on the  upper left side quadrant.

bottom left texture. long kantha stitches for the bottom left quadrant.

upper right(sort of) quadrant.never thought i would dare paint over stitchery.

the whole nine yards.looks pretty cohesive don't you think?

when it's too hot to move

stitching takes the mind wandering.

no sweat. just long stitching sessions.

it's called work in progress

although it's taken a lot of time to gel it's on its way now. tore some of it to make it smaller and printed,printed, printed. monoprint can be a misnomer if you are using some texture imprinted on the plate; you can replicate it all the times you want. you can also get ghost prints that are  visually effective.

the  diy plate works very well!

i am using golden heavy body acrylics and need to work fast to beat the drying time. also using amsterdam fluos for their transparency and color pop.

putting to work what i've learned.
think the two rectangles at the top are too dominant.
