Working on fabric again

The time has come to do some fiber art. I made a drawing of the tatzel couple under the moon. The position of the worms shows the shape of Ketu and Rahu, the dragons "who eat the moon" when there is a lunar eclipse. I intend to iron the pencil to fix it, then color the object with fabric paints and quilt it.

WOW! Ups! Uhm! Ahhhhh! - Now I am speechless!
Really where ARE you going Eva???
You are so, so, so, hm what? - CREATIVE!!!(among other things!)

The cloth is a vintage bed sheet scrap. The colors are textile paints which will be washable after ironing. I'll try not to use them in thick layers, so the texture will not become too heavy to quilt. Also the pencil is textile paint which becomes permanent by ironing.
