For those of you who didn't, don't scroll down, just think about it's size.......I can see now in the photo, I haven't removed all the water soluble thread, so it will need a soak in warmer water as it's the Superior Threads one which needs warm/hot to dissolve it.
Scroll down, if I have been successful, you will be surprised.
I drew the design directly onto the fabric (cotton batiste). I got a dirty burnt starch mark on it but was confident it would rinse out.
This was the back after I stitched the feathers.
And I can't resist playing with wetting it and watching the ink run. If you're wondering about the pens I use to mark, go back through the archives.
Now to do some 'googling' to find out how to bind it less than 1/8th of an inch.
Have I mentioned, you're barking :) It looks great though. I know it isn't the point but I really like the look of it with the ink running. It might be a really interesting effect if it were permanant. I guess it could be done with dye.....
