Two takes on the flour resist technique I mentioned earlier, after washing and ironing. The first is brown on white fabric and the one below is blue and brown on a previously dyed purple fabric. I really, really like this effect. It's batik-like without all the fuss with melting wax and then trying to get it out again.
Today we venture south-west to our closest town to see my daughter's endocrinologist - hopefully he has some explanation for why she is feeling so rotten all the time. He is going to give us the results of the gazillion blood tests he did last time. I woke up at 2am. My depression has headed south again.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have not tried cornflour, but will now give it a go! I had a brief peek at Artopia - really, really like your work, especially Dreams of India and the Hundertwasser/Klimt pieces - I'll be popping in again, when I have more time. Nice to meet you!
