Our small group, the Fiber Junkies is all about trying new techniques....earlier this year we worked with printing on transparency sheets and using a thermofax. Sometimes we plan more than we actually have time to execute.
I still had several designs from these two methods that needed to be printed....so today was the day!
Using some matte-medium covered rusted course cotton......
Too little paint.
Sort of okay.
Too much paint.
It's wonderful to have the opportunity to try new methods....it's a great way to learn what works with my style and temperment, also what techniques are not a good match for me. So, I never consider disappointment a waste of time......it simply brings me closer to perfecting my own path!

That's an excellent attitude I've not always remembered to have in my own explorations. And yet I remember how relieved I felt when I ran across this same sentiment in a Parker Palmer book. He was talking about career choices and how each failure or disappointment merely helps you to narrow things down and help you clarify what you really need to be doing to fulfilled yourself. It's all about finding your own path, what suits you best.
NICE, Mary!!!! Love the transfer piece....
