Loving Collaborating

CJ Pressma designed the collage and printed it on silk, I then shibori dyed the fabric.

Copper Painted Shibori Nuno Felted Merino

The challenge was wrapping the 10 feet of felted merino and silk on a five foot pole and then shiboi painting it so that I could get enough penetration without too much dye dripping.  Soaking it in a solution of equal parts vinegar and water with a little synthrapol seems to help the merino soak up the dye.  The question is does it dilute the color?  This piece is meant to be hung on the wall in a place where the sunset shines through the window.  It's amazing the fabric that be created on the FeltLOOM!

Danielle's Purses and Flap Sacks

I love the new flap sacks Danielle is making.  Sewing is the future I must say.  Amazing how many people do not know how to sew.  It seems like my mom always had her sewing machine out working on something.
