I used a flour resist with black Dye-na-flow textile paint for the back and then used archival markers and Micron inks for the pictures. I was trying out a new technique, I like the results.
The technique was described in one of this year's QuiltingArts magazines.
You put down a flour/water mixture, let dry completely then crack it up and paint over it with a liquid paint. The paint seeps into the cracks - you have to wait a couple of days for it to "proof" as you can't heat set it through the flour. Then you get to spend a while at the sink to remove the flour (this can take up to a couple of hours depending on the size of your piece - I recently did one that was 3x4 feet - UGH!
BTW - My avatar pic is the 3x4feet piece that I then painted the tree and quilted it. It is in the process of being juried for a traveling gallery show!
