One of the fabrics I used for Gelli-plate printing is a 100% cotton, thin dish cloth.
It’s the one in the middle of the bottom row.
This piece started out a pretty turquoise and ended up a mess. I didn’t like the texture of the cloth…at first.
As I studied the piece, I thought the texture would make a good tree bark applique. I started cutting the tree shape; and then used small pieces to collage a tree. This is still a trial and error, work in progress.

yes, great tree material.
It DOES make good bark!
I want to try making a tree on a larger block, using this fabric. Don’t know how just yet.
Glad you did not give up, most experiments that we do not like can be reused for something else 🙂
Looking great!
