The ice started to go out of the little lake about a week ago.
Have you ever noticed how the wind etches a large scale water-like pattern on the icy surface of a pond? You can see this when the winter is short on snow, as this one has been.
I’m seeing water everywhere.
For several years now I’ve wanted to make a naturalistic repeating water pattern. I finally got down to it. This will repeat horizontally. It was very tricky to register. I had so much trouble so rather than drive myself crazy I decided to allow the pattern to drift about 1/4″ upwards to the right with each “print,” which will make it look more naturalistic anyway. To accommodate my imprecision, I made sure the shapes at top and bottom of stencil have no straight edges.

love the liquid print. i am trying to get a similar effect with indigo shibori at the moment
I look forward to seeing it!
I LOVE this Kit!!
This would make a great tenugui design!
Great idea, Amy! Here’s the definition of tenugui – I couldn’t remember right away so had to look it up!
p.s. Yesterday was 80 degrees here, and today it will be close to that too. So our ice is completely gone now!

yes, you’ve captured the wateriness perfectly
