Welcome to Week 4 (ATCs) of Donna Downey's Fun with Fabric class!

These ATCs started as a blank canvas and then we painted everything with watercolors (more on that later). Here are the fabric ATCs once painted, embellished and sewn together (see close-ups on Flickr).



I had purchased two sets of watercolors to get a variety of colors. One was $5 and one was about $30 - 50% coupon = $15. Wouldn't you know it, the $5 set worked the best and gave the best colors! Oh well. I really liked the watercolor painting.

This next set is similar but made on paper. I like how the lady (from Donna's She Said set) turned out on paper. I colored her with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol on this set.



In other news, hubby just purchased a domain name for me... http://www.dustypenny.com/. Cool! I love having a techie hubby.

This messenger bag started as a blank canvas and we painted it with Carbon Black Golden fluid acrylic paint. I may go over a couple areas again, but it has some nice variations in shade.
