Main Street USA.. Here we come!

"Main Street U.S.A." is to read at 10 ft width ( ie. a full panel) ... egads.... this will take forever... but I think/hope it will be important to the total 6 panel 8 state map. I drafted letters in pencil on paper... then used a permanent black marker and outlined letters on paper. Finally placed fabric over paper one letter at a time over a light box to outline each letter in preparation for this step of filling in with bottled ink. An acrylic Omnigrid ruler comes in handy to sit ink bottle and rub cloth within a work area. I NEVER sit an ink bottle directly atop fabric while working. This ink product is user friendly but nonetheless risky!
This is time consuming but admittedly a bit relaxing. La La La !!!
