VERY IMPORTANT FABRIC CHOICE NOTES:
To make spirals
- Picking fabric for this project is very important. Colors #1 and #2 need to be a light and medium light fabric. Colors #3 and #4 need to be a medium dark and dark fabric. There needs to be a big difference between the medium light and medium dark fabric. To increase your chance of sharp spidrons, make the lighter fabrics one color family and the darker fabrics another color family. An example would be: light yellow and medium yellow for color #1 and #2. Medium dark and dark blue for color #3 and #4. NOTE: When thinking of the values of fabrics from color #1 to color #4, you do not want a smooth gradient. You want to skip a few values between color #2 and color #3. This way you have two lighter fabrics and two darker fabrics.
To make stars - Colors #1 and #3 need to be light fabrics. Colors #2 and #4 need to be much darker fabrics. For best results, fabrics #1 and #2 should be from the same color family and fabrcs #3 and #4 should be from the same corlor family but different from the color family of fabrics #1 and #2.
Special Notes: This project requires 8-1/2" x 14" (legal) paper for the templates of lesson #4 (2 sheets) and #5 (6 sheets) . For metric system you can cut an A3 sheet of paper 216mm x 356mm. You can also use freezer paper cut to the size needed. With freezer paper you want to print on the dull side. You can put freezer paper through an inkjet printer, but *NEVER* put freezer paper through a laser jet. 8o)
