Prompt 3 was a picture of 2 apples....
....I decided to cut apples in two different ways and print...
...haven't done this since I was teaching Reception Class many years ago!!
I cut out apple shapes then cut strips from the paper that was left .....
.....made a collage with cut outs.
Prompt 4 was to find a piece of fabric and cut 3, 4" x 2" pieces in similar shades and one contrasting....
...chose my indigo dyed and space dyed muslin in orange..
