I’ve been working on the 2″x2″ fabric square swap hosted by Belinda Spiwak at Mixed Media Art Friends.  I played with lots of ideas and finally settled on this.  The fabric is a Bali hand dyed in rainbow colors.  I used a flourish rubber stamp with Staz-On black ink, then outlined the swirls with a Sharpie Poster Paint (water based) pen, then added some small beads for depth and texture.  The middle layer is a thin version of Timtex.  I kept the upper left corner free from any 3D embellishments.  Belinda will be punching a hole and inserting a small grommet so that we can hang this on a hoop.

Here are what they looked like before I put on the backing and finished the edges.

Here are the finished squares.  The back is a black wool felt.  I used a variegated floss and buttonhole stitch to finish the edges.
