Trout on Fabric

 Bridget Boyle, a master-quilter, asked me to do a Trout on muslin fabric so she could incorporate it into a quilt project.  This was the first time I had worked with fabric paint on cloth.  I was surprised that the lighter green paint, which I applied just below the darker green, had sparkles in it.  At first, I didn't like it, but then I realized it kind of looked like fish scales.  It was a very interesting project.  I don't think it would ever be used in a biology book to identify species, but I think 4 out of 5 pre-schoolers would recognize it as a fish.    I invite Bridget to tell us more about her project.
