Playing with Fabric

Today I worked on creating fabric for a black/white/gray project.  I monoprinted some white Kona fabric with black Setacolor fabric paint. Here is a photo of the supplies I used:

And here is a sample of the printed fabric:

On black Kona cotton fabric, I used a decolorant to remove color to create grayish-white dots:

Peel Away The Layers

I finally got around to using tea bag papers in my artwork. It reminds me of a thin layer of skin. Underneath this layer of "skin", I used a patchwork of brown and tan wool. Putting this small artwork on top of regular fabric didn't seem to work. I decided to dye cotton batting in persimmon. This idea came from my friend, Linda Friedman's blog.  http://lindasartquilts.blogspot.com/2010/07/wildfire-tribute-to-all-wildland.html 

"Glow" Postcard

This artwork is another fiber postcard for mini group that I'm involved with. The theme this time was "Light". This design is the first thing that came to mind. Swirling colors of white and gold foil on a bright yellow background. The main lesson I learned with this postcard is how tricky it is to photography metallic gold.

4/27/11 Amendment: The recipient of this postcard took a better photo than mine so I replaced it today. Thanks, Teresa!
