Try, in my opinion, is an over-used word to hedge. I hear folks saying, usually in pathetically whiney voice, "Well, I tried!" I want them to finish the sentence. Tell me the outcome of that "trying" attempt....success, failure, or somewhere in between. Just try getting out of a chair, then let me know what happened.
Something I tried awhile back and liked the outcome.....painting fabric. It was a class at Houston Quilt Festival a few years ago, teacher's name has sadly slipped on out of memory, that was all about painting on fabric that piqued my interest enough so that I tried the process. What fun painting on this Robert Kaufman linen... so much so that I used it as the back of this improv quilt. The same linen on the front is left unpainted.
I didn't have any of the fancy fabric paint so I tried the water based acrylic which suited me just fine. And, it didn't wash out because I tried that too.
When one tries to do something, there must always be an outcome....Just try it and see.
