Dash's imagination is often crowded with hecklers. This makes it hard for her to stay in tune with Dot.
Method. This cartoon was created on cloth, out of a practice design. An 8-inch square from one of Jim's old shirts is sandwiched with batting and a backing from one of my old blouses. The purpose was to practice free-motion quilting, tracing over lines made with a circle template. The "hecklers" were certain dancing around MY head as I sewed.
A couple weeks later, I needed to practice my fabric painting and grabbed this block. Dot, Dash, and the horde of hecklers immediately came to mind. Paint: Jacquard Lumiere fabric paint in two shades of gold, applied with a small pointed brush.
