I am pleased with this one. Ink on white fabric makes for colors behaving the way I expect, as well as producing clearer, prettier colors. This is more important to me for sunflowers than for murkier subjects. The single layer of printed fabric was not enough, so I fused it to some yellow/orange batik, and made all the petals 3D – they are stitched down the center but free to fold as needed. The center is more of the same batik, dyed brown with Dynaflow. I like this version best so far, although I am kind of missing the glitter of the lumiere paints.
