Painting Thread

Can I color my own thread?
what if?

I used some found thread at thrift store about the same weight as pearl cotton #5.

I placed a long piece of thread into a recycled veggie tray and poured in some Dyna-Flow liquid textile paint

It Worked!!

Kahlil Gibran

A spiritual awakening is often found and developed in a wilderness. It can be a poem or a parable of a deep forest, a mountain meadow or a cactus-studded desert. The outdoor spirit of plein air refreshes and further enables the indoor studio chapel. Each new creative beginning is a confirmation of the simple truth of taking care. And while it may all appear to be self-indulgent and isolating, every thought, every stroke, every caress of the brush adds a small refreshment of meaning and purpose to our universe. "Work is love made visible."
