I hope it will all work out in the end. I'll likely use a strong indigo watercolour wash for the end.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-74264938601886707172011-07-15T21:31:18.480-02:302011-07-15T21:31:18.480-02:30Sounds like you're doing the batik just right,...Sounds like you're doing the batik just right, Jeanette, and this looks great! Can't wait to see it finished - will you do the inking or use maybe a dark blue watercolor for the inking at the end?RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-1001262154741403762011-07-15T19:28:53.617-02:302011-07-15T19:28:53.617-02:30This is going to be so nice, Jeanette.

Then I can add any final details or touch ups and see how it looks.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-84150212276925848152011-07-15T09:30:16.657-02:302011-07-15T09:30:16.657-02:30I second the book idea.

It could take me a lifetime to come up with illustrations for it. :)Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-82913999732578926232011-07-15T06:30:27.211-02:302011-07-15T06:30:27.211-02:30I'm fascinated to watch the development of thi...I'm fascinated to watch the development of this<br /><br />It's looking good - there's a story there - have you ever done an illustrated book? this would be so good in onevivienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16820836660470146799noreply@blogger.com
