A Play Day

Last Friday Lisa and Kathleen drove out to Weiser for a play day. I had a  fresh indigo pot, soy wax  and all sorts of clamps and plexiglass glass shapes ready to go. We played with a variety of fabrics and created some really cool designs.

Here's Lisa tying some organza with bright orange yarn.

The organza soaking in water.

Holding up the finished piece.

Kathleen checking on a piece hanging to dry.

A few shots of texture and pattern.

I found 8 vintage linen napkins in my stash, they are now blue and white, each with a different pattern.

We had a great time, it is so good to have friends to play with!

Last year I had over dyed about 10 pieces of hand dyed cotton, yesterday I added 15 more pieces to it.

I did them late yesterday and stuck them up on my design wall as I ironed them. I need to square them up and maybe play with placement a bit before sewing them together.

I've finished both of the cyanotype pieces.

This one has  contour stitching around the leaves and hand stitched veins on each leaf.

This one has straight stitching overall.
