My second attempt at a fabric collage on a teeny-tiny tote bag turned out a bit better than the first one . It's meant to be a gift bag filled with fabric quarters for a quilty friend.
I sealed it with gel medium rather than using Modge Podge like I did on the first one, and I like the matte finish much better. Except that it's a little too matte. It still needs a little something, but I'm not sure what.
This picture from the book shows what the fabric collage is supposed to look like.
But when I tried using the gesso and paint, mine turned out like this.
I wonder what I'm doing wrong?
(Okay, I confess it didn't turn out quite that bad. But it wasn't pretty, so I used it to wipe the excess stuff off my paint brush during my next project.)
I'll keep trying. :-)
