More of the finished product

This one was the most fun. After dyeing the fabric I used fabrico stamp pads and used letter stamps, toilet paper roll, and a half of a coconut shell.
This one was silk screened over the dyed fabric.

A look at the finished fabric

Dyed each of these pieces first and then screened over them afterwards.
This one I tied bottle caps into the fabric and then dyed with New Black and then after that I dyed it with cobalt blue. The black makes some very interesting colors.

Enjoying Kentucky

Walking up this trail of three miles through the woods and enjoying the wild flowers brought great peace.

Dyeing Fabrics in Kentucky

My artist friend Dina and I were able to spend two days dyeing fabrics together. We hung them on a clothes line in her recreation room after we were done. We were so intent on getting every minute of time that we didn't even stop for lunch on those days. The time was spend well as we were both please with our fabrics and the joy in being together and creating again.

Los Angeles Fabric District

For me to fly to Kentucky we had to drive down to Los Angeles and this made it possible to stop in the Fabric District downtown Los Angeles. It is one of my favorite places to go. I was so excited to find some rayon for a dress and.....

and then we made a stop in Torrance to another one of my favorite fabric stores and found this beautiful embroidery piece that will be wonderful for a coat.

Dogwoods in Kentucky

Spring was here with the Dogwoods blooming. I hadn't seen them before, so my camera was delighted to take a few so that they would be there for a artistic moment.

It was off to Kentucy
