The masking tape was my choice for this particular piece and I would use it again because it stood up to a lot of movement and wear and tear. Freezer paper can start to peel away if the underlying fabric surface is uneven, as in this case.Cynthia St Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05627612491156423102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040841898097981185.post-81828527998578122422012-03-30T08:28:06.984-06:002012-03-30T08:28:06.984-06:00have you thought about using contact paper or even...have you thought about using contact paper or even freezer paper as your resist?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040841898097981185.post-87496499789339447142012-03-30T00:38:10.881-06:002012-03-30T00:38:10.881-06:00I really love this.

I understand why you wanted more contrast, but those I know who have struggled and conquered depression say it is like a veil has been lifted. So, the figure could be experiencing the world through the veil. I know your fantastic quilting will be the icing on the proverbial cake. Wishing you a wonderful and hopefully, sunny weekend.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367949314724875797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040841898097981185.post-30723225034753578932012-03-29T07:56:30.951-06:002012-03-29T07:56:30.951-06:00I really am in awe of your constantly developing p...I really am in awe of your constantly developing process, Cynthia. Your stash of stamps is awesome! I know that sometime earlier this year you blogged about a new carving material you get online, but I can't find the entry. I'm having trouble finding the best product for making stamps that print clearly.Virginia Crandallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07488225799312813019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040841898097981185.post-13988160663458203372012-03-29T07:00:26.649-06:002012-03-29T07:00:26.649-06:00Wow!

I really love your stamps, and the masked figure is a great focal point, even if it isn't as much of a contrast as you might have hoped for. I'm assuming you will be quilting the piece, and I imagine the stitching will bring the figure out more, but even if you stopped right now and framed or mounted this piece, it is a real eye-catcher!Judy Sall Fiber Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05172226619205640720noreply@blogger.com
