Each work will be in a 100x40cm (L x W) vertical format and up to 30 works may be selected. To submit an entry, please review the Conditions of Entry and complete the Online Entry Form at http://www.livingcolourtextiles.com

The closing date for entries is 31 January 2014. No entry fee is payable unless your work is selected. International entries are welcome.

Please help spread the word.  I can't do it without you!

Please consider being part of this exhibition. With a title like that it promises to provide a wonderful exploration of colour.

Another soy wax experiment

Here's mine:
I added some crayon afterwards ... just a bit so there would be another colour.

Results of soy wax resist activity

This is one of the pieces I did with the soy wax resist. It had two layers of wax - first the larger spots made with  the chocolate box filler and painted and then  with the potato masher, followed by more painting with the same colours. I have then added some detail with a rubbing plate and metallic oil sticks in similar colours to the blue and green paints I used.


What a fun activity this was! Thanks Wilma and Buffy.
