What is Old is New Again!
I used to draw and paint with these paints almost exclusively as a child growing up, so imagine my joy that Hobby Lobby was carrying these as kits. I asked, no most probably they won't be carrying the single tubes, which is a shame because I ReALLY want a tube of red violet paint.
I'm hoping that this will be the anwser to my fabric marker woes, I can control a paint brush but the fabric markers bleed, bleed, and bleed some more, and the marker tips themselves... well don't get me started!
Anyway, I will report back as I will be using the black color, and probably exclusively, as to how these interact with natural dyed fabrics.

WIP - Bjorkboda 090412
Now with more hand stitching, and still plugging along! I've missed several deadlines but at this point I don't care anymore, I have a vision for this piece and I want that vision to come to life but not in some half hearted fashion.
In the mean time I'm contemplating dyeing some threads, for hand stitching, for this piece. I still have the silk layer and the pieces of scrim that were dyed along with these layers and am thinking of starting a second piece for a new series.

WIP - Hands
More hand prints. It is sooooooo unbelievably hot and dry here, normally we have a humidity level around 50% or higher this time of year, which is causing problems with drying times. Problems as in everything is drying within minutes, sometimes seconds, making it difficult to work the cloth.

Fabric Stash 053112
I'm still sorting through my fabric stash of natural and compost dyed fabrics trying to find a lost piece of pigment painted fabric. I still haven't found the piece I'm looking for, I may just have to repaint some fabric so that I can work on my project!

Sorting Fabric
Sorting fabrics for future projects, and more specifically looking for a piece of pigment painted fabric that I've been really wanting to work with in a new project.
Rust dyed commercial fabrics from 2005/06 sitting atop a pile of hand painted fabrics from 2003-2006. The log cabin block piece I made back in 1994 when I took a hand dyeing class from Priscilla Sage at Iowa State University.
Bound Resist fabrics, top, from 1994 and screen printed hand dyed fabrics from 2005.
Some of my older hand dyed and hand painted fabrics that I've been sorting through for various projects.
A pink piece I made from my screen printing squeegie scrapings, from a class I took with Tim McIllrath in 1994.
