"The Bruised Heart" will be my first guinea pig. Finished back in the Fall, it's my favorite from the year. October, when the country seemed to be eating itself like the Ouroboros. We were all wound up pretty tight, especially here in Georgia.
I still haven't settled on the orientation for this one. My perennial problem, deciding which end is up.
This is the easy part. I've left the edges of the finished piece loose so I can fiddle the edges into line when I start working the gel medium into the cloth.
I'll keep going back to the tutorial so I won't forget all the little nuances that I worked with and around all those years ago.
Being mindful of how the next step can darken the cloth.
Slowly. slowly.
I have a lot of detail shots of this piece to document how it will change. See just how much I can control. And how much the cloth will do what it will.
Kill your darlings, they tell all writers. The scene that inspired this piece lives on. Dark and dangerous. A switch tripped for the main characters. Everyone right at the place of no return.
