This is the beautiful view from my studio last night.
Below is an accordion folded Itajime piece, done on Essex Linen from Dharma Trading Co. I really like it and the hand of the fabric is perfect for showing the details.
Over the weekend, one of the members of my weekly quilting circle had her art-loving granddaughter and boyfriend visiting her. She asked if they could all come over and dye a shirt. So here they are below working on their projects.
Love the intense concentration from Cameron as she's applying the dyes. Her boyfriend seemed to have a good time dyeing his first shirt ever. He was glad to find out why those kind of designs on shirts are called '"Tie Dye." It was quite the ah-ha moment for him.
Below is another picture of the cute couple.
Can't wait to see how their shirts turned out.
I love that you have the space to be able to do this! I had to clean out half the garage to do a class several years ago, and of course it went right back to being a garage. I wouldn't be able to do it in my studio 'cause I have way too much stuff in there for more than me to be working. Aah, for a barn! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am very lucky to have this space to make drippy messes and create the art I love to make! I used to do the dyeing in my small sewing room and it was not as easy or fun to dye as it is now!
