I managed to work one hour tonight in my studio, for which I am sure pay dearly for later, creating some cloth. I was gong to submit this piece, after it cures and I had quilted it, to Quilt National, that was before I made a huge mess on the silk and hid it with the swallows. So now I will have to create another piece of cloth to be made into a quilt of some sort.
This piece, which was compost dyed first, is actually hanging horizontally, I flipped the image to vertical so you could see it better, hence the reason it looks odd. I screen printed the image of the swallows onto the fabric. Actually it looks a lot like a day hubby and I spent out at the prairie - hoping to photograph bison - but all we saw were swallows dive bombing dragon flies in the tall prairie grasses instead.
I dunno, I didn't think it looked od at all. In fact, it looks odd to me turned horizontally. I rather like the vertical orientation...
ReplyDeleteWhat I meant to say is the fabric supposed to viewed vertically, it looks odd because I took the picture while the fabric was hanging horizontally - I then flipped the image in photo shop.
ReplyDeleteI had to hang the fabric horizontally, while it was drying, to keep the fabric from dragging on the floor.
Clear as mud? It's been one of those weeks.
Btw I really love the links on your blog, of Newfoundland. My mom is from Cape St. George.
