Onto the front of my piece

I promised to share the process once I started on the front of my "Women's Work" piece.

This was a start with white textile paint rolled over the mosaic quilted pattern.

I sat with it for a whole day, in a quandary about it.

Then I decided it was not what I wanted.

It looked too clean and new.

I wanted it aged and worn looking,

So yesterday after doing some trials on my practice piece I aged and distressed it.

I am much happier with this and now I want to add text to tell the narrative...
