It may seem obvious that white was the correct color to use for printing the text on this piece, but that was not the case at the time, from my perspective. I was out of silver, and black seemed to dark, so it had to be white - it was just a process of elimination. I hoped the different fonts and sizes of the text, etc. would result in a sort of cloud-like appearance from a distance that would take on a new meaning as the viewer would come closer.
I contemplated cutting the fabric up and collaging it, but I thought I could make that decision later, if necessary (like - if I ruined some section of the whole cloth or something like that, hey - it happens).
This last picture is the entire piece after the printing is complete. I cannot express how very relieved I was to see this on my design wall at this point. I really hoped I could proceed without ruining this big piece of fabric that I felt was very effective as it was without being cut up into a collage.....
