Flowing Colors

I was looking for my embossing heat gun and ended up unpacking the last two big remaining studio "stuff" boxes and uncovered all the fun paint and dye and surface design goodies I haven't used in quite a long while. Guess since I packed them up way back when before the house remodel...Anyways never did find the heat gun, but ended up having fun painting and fooling around with some liquid pigment dyes (Dharma and Createx), as well Dr. Ph.Martin's Spectralite airbrush color and liquid acrylics. I'd bought these from Dharma Trading ages ago, and had never used them. I knew they were unused because they still had the black electrical tape that Dharma uses around the tops of containers that they ship out.

This one is all Dr. Ph. Martin's Spectralite, very free flowing, watercolor-ish, mixed easily on the fabric as I wetted it. I like the clarity and intensity of these colors.
This one has all of the different pigments plus some silver Deka fabric paint on top. Some of the pigments are very concentrated (the Dharma brand especially) and are made to be used diluted, some are made to be used as is straight out of the bottle. This piece turned a little muddy and indistinct as it dried, I think I got the fabric a bit too wet in this case. Looks like a good start on a background though.
