Continuing on with the same ideas - I try overprinting a couple pieces of chartreuse deconstructed prints. I am using the same ideas of adding text and tree images - all Thermofax screens. The trees and bushes are from my own photos. The text is the handwriting of my maternal and paternal grandmothers. I have printed the trees onto silk organza which is fused in place. For the one above - I actually overpainted it with green silk paint so it would blend a bit more. For the one below, I did not paint the organza so it looks white, but also slightly transparent - revealing some of the underlying print. I stitched around the edges with a big stitch in red pearl cotton.
I have these up on the design wall for a while but I can't get very excited about them. Not excited enough to quilt them. I have folded and refolded the edges to see if cropping helps. But I am going to set them aside for a while. Maybe I will come back to them later on.

I like the piece at the top, where is that wonderful pinky coloured fabric from a previous post? It would lift these pieces amazingly!
