I use a floating medium, I use it to blend my colors makes it easy to paint and mix the paint right on the fabric. I paint by the seat of my pants as they say, just what ever pops in my head, till I get what I want.

Pokey, this is why I read ALL your e-mails! Sometimes things don't apply to my personal quilting, but every now and then something REALLY usefull shows up. This book will be number one on my list of things to get after the holidays (just in case Santa is too busy).

This is a problem that faces me constantly while painting on fabric. If it is too dark or heavy and I add water what happens to the measured soda ash I used for setting the pigments? Do I need to add more with more water? Is sea weed thickener comparable to the textile medium?
