Cloth Works

Greetings All,
I have been having a great time creating new fabrics by painting them with the help of a zip-lock bag and Set-a-color fabric paints.  At the left and below center are  shibori.

 To the right I did a wet twist and below center is another shibori.

To my left is a batik that was done with soy wax.  These are all base fabrics and I'm not sure where the next step will go.  Maybe I will stamp, stencil, or roll on more color, so stay tune.

Figge Museum

Greeting All,
I had a wonderful day at the Figge Museum and meeting up with old friends from PAQA and introducing them to my new friends.  Here are a few photos and enjoy.

Big Sky -V

Greetings All,

Big Sky-V has return from it's tour with the FAC exhibit "Pretty Planet" Mancuso Show Management and I notice that my beading had changed colored (below top left and below center is a close-up).  So I decided to remove the beads and embellish with buttons and plus it added weight.  Updated piece is at the bottom right and I hope you like my change.

Xhosa

Greetings All,
Here is the complete piece and I have added a few other elements and I'm very pleased with the finishes.  I love the face of the figure in the forefront and was surprised when the black bird showed up, but not disappointed.  This is the 1st piece on a large scale that I have completed since I've relocated to Peoria, IL and I'm glad to be back in the saddle again.

Xhosa - update

Greetings All,
Here is the next step in the completion of my latest piece and  I am almost finished and have loved each step in the process.
