Well I thought it would be fun to imagine finding a cave with little prehistoric space spores drawn all over it!
I spritzed some bright pink fabric with walnut ink, water and fabric paint, then with a combination of free motion machine stitching, (the dark brown stitching) and hand embroidery, I created my little cave spores.
I was just having fun, but I like how they turned out and I think I will be exploring these more at a later date.

I love this one, what a fabulous idea! Thanks for sharing that it was James Stuarts 100th birthday, I have a soft spot for him too

Prehistoric Space Spores...
Nope! I wouldn't ever have thought of that. But I'm not surprised one bit that you'd come up with something so imaginative.
Have you seen the PBS special where the scientists/archeologists/whatever are trying to figure out how the hand (outline) paintings were done? They determined that the ink/paint was spit out of mouths around a hand placed on the cave wall. So start practicing your spitting!
Ha! I hadn't heard about this technique yet!
Oh, the neighbors are really gonna love me now!
Now it all makes sense! Prehistoric space spores...Darwin had it all wrong - thanks for clearing it up for us!
Your ideas & inspirations continue to blow me away! As does your work. Your art never ceases to amaze me. Love the Prehistoric Space Spores! I think living in your head would be a whole lot of fun :)
