I was inspired to pick up the brush again by katiesstudio on TikTok; I wanted to try out their “swirl the blobs” technique of moving and mixing color across the canvas. And of course, I brought my masking tape techniques with me.

Then I wanted to take this color blending kick over to my embroidery, because I already have variegated thread in lots of colors (shout out to Walmart for the thread).

An of course my next question is… how can i incorporate this into my quilting? I’ve been thinking about trying more detailed pieces and more “thread painting”, and I think this abstract color blending mood could bring me into that. 🙂
