The next step for the gray sky would be the block printing. I would be using hand carved printing blocks that I thought represented a windy or stormy atmosphere.....I planned to use silver Jacquard Lumiere, but alas, when I went to my shelves - I had just a small quantity of silver on hand. This product is not available in stores in Billings, Montana and I did not have time to order from Dharma or anyone else! It seemed like I might be able to stretch the silver if I mixed in some blue and purple and so that is what I did. This probably was not really a bad thing, after all. But I did use up every last drop of silver, blue and purple metallic that I had in my studio! The printing took an entire day, as the fabric was so large and I had to keep sliding it around on the worktable to get the thing done....
Oh, my, but it did get printed. Whew!

Wish I could see it in person. Wishing for the art quilting gods to stretch minutes into hours as you race toward your deadline. =o]
