This is a piece of rusted cotton ... an experiment. The fabric was soaked in a vinegar-water mixture, and placed between two pieces of sheet-metal, with some washers, nails, and "thingies" from the garage. I love this effect! 

A tiny piece made spontaneously from leftover batiks, while at a Retreat with friends in Livingston, TX. I just couldn't let those gorgeous fabrics go to waste. It is named 'Migrating Batiks" because of the flying geese border. 

Another silk painting from a later Ginny Eckley workshop .. thread painted but not yet quilted in this photo. 

This was a silk painting begun in a Ginny Eckley workshop, finally quilted.
