Typography - A Whimsical Approach!

Carol R. Eaton here... it is always such a treat to see how each artist in the hive approaches the Queen's request! When it was my turn to be Queen I was blown away by their vision and Lisa's custom fabric pack is equally as cool!

When it came to the idea of text I couldn't get away from the daily bombardment of messages (both text and voice) I receive through work and play. I'm not complaining ~ communication equals life ~ but it can feel over whelming at times. So... I took a whimsical approach to text by creating a piece that incorporates the idea of birds chirping away in pleasant but constant tweets! My design incorporates multiple techniques such as sun printing, thermofax screens and more.

Please comment on Lisa's post below for a chance to win and then hop over to my blog to see how I created my piece!

I love them all!!!

It's all about text

Lynda here. This month's challenge was creating a 12 x 12 piece with text for Queen Lisa Chin. I love text so this was a really fun project for me. And I'm even done before the deadline! Here is my piece.

This was super easy and fast. It's all about using stencils (I used Runes stencil from Artistcellar), Jacquard Color Magnet, and fiber reactive dyes.
