Limes

 

I actually love this piece, every time I look at it I am surprised that I created it.

katazome design

 

here is the sketch I went back to eventually

 

the stencil drawn out..i am removing all the black areas

 

and here is the stencil..upside down for the moment

hoping that by tomorrow I will have some on fabric..the waiting is always the hardest part

organic design

 

it makes a cool linear repeat..maybe for a border

Ink wash project

 

stage 1

 

stage 2

 

stage 3
 

and of course I'm not happy with it because I found a mistake and now I'm torn do I fix it or leave it

I realized I never posted my textiles final. I decided on shibori for the background

with hand applique and machine quilting. It was large..the stitching for the shibori took

me about 4 movies to do.

this is the finished piece. I think it is about 45 x 60 completed.

The birds are hand appliqued with hand dyed fabric..on top of the already hand dyed fabric. It was not the funniest thing I've ever done

here is a close up

square the designs are based on
