Fiber Art Show

My quilted wall hanging made it into a show in San Luis Obispo. There were 47 entries and 20 were picked. The show has some very nice entries. It runs until June 30th and it is at the Steynberg Gallery at Monterey and California if you have time to see it. My wall hanging is the first one that I have made as I tend to wearable art. 

It began in a workshop in Fiber Vision Group in which we were learning a painting technique and I took the piece of fabric and cut and stenciled with shiva sticks, beaded and hand quilted.

More Experiments

This is  a piece of silk with ginkgo leaves done with a stencil and a shiva stick.

These are a spiral made out of paper towel and then adding the dye on the paper. I like the way the spiral image came out.

Silk Scarf

I have been experimenting with different types of silk content scarfs. This one was stonewash crepe de chin 16mm and I really liked the texture of it and how it took the dyes.

I laid a cheese cloth stripe across the scarf to see if it would show the mesh of the weave. It didn't, but it held the dyes and made a very dark dye in that spot. I liked the look of it.
I put some salt in some places and nuts and washers. I got some rust effect and images as you can see. I used perwinkle, navy blue, gray acid dyes.
Then at the bottom of the scarf I used a stencil and with shiva sticks.
