Indigo, soy wax, solar fast, gelli prints and more

Last week I had a wonderful group of six creatives spend a couple of days in Studio B. The first day they got an overview of all the different techniques and then on the second day they got to play to their hearts content with what ever appealed to them the most. It seemed that each one had their own favorite thing to do. I did manage to take a few pictures, mainly of the indigo hanging on the line to dry.

Before they came I had sent some links to show them how to do some hand stitched resists, Joann did some wonderful stitching and here she is taking out all the stitching after the indigo dip.

These are two of her pieces.

They also did some folds with machine stitched resist and here is one of them.

The whole group busy creating.

As we wrapped up on the first night we did some ice dying and let the ice melt over night. This is how they looked first thing in the morning.

And after washing out.

Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of everything else they did.

The Weekly Leaf

I picked up a maple leaf on a morning walk and use it on the gelli plate, I had one to stitch and one for another time.
