I was experimenting with textured gels. I used Golden Gel Medium Regular Gel (Semi-gloss) and added Maribu Textile paint in Violet and green. The gel was then painted on a commercial rose stencil.

For this rose I used Golden Gel Mediums Soft Gel (Matte) and added Maribu Textil paint in Violet but also added Pearl Ex Pigments in Dua Red-Blue to give a different colour and effect for the rose. I used green textile paint for the leaves and stem.

Using 1/4" masking tape I masked the Fibonacci sequence. Using Stewart Gill Alchemy paints. I painted the open areas using a small spatula. Once the paints were dry I removed the masking tape and free motion quilted uisng a variegated thread.
