this is the third project for the class “images on fabric”. This class so far has just been tedious exercises, and this project is also but we are making a series of 15 8×8 pieces of dyed fabrics that have a theme. The idea behind these images for me is the act of losing sensible thought; socially unacceptable thought processes. It is all still experimenting but its been so much fun. Here are the photos of what I did tonight. I’m getting a really late start due to being really sick so I will not be leaving the house at all this weekend. Hooray for dyeing!
these are silk screened with h dye in sodium alginate on cotton velvet and cotton print cloth
these are some samples drying on the wall. I pinned them up so I could look at them. I dont have enough table room to keep everything right there. the studio is crazy right now. some of the techniques are: monoprinting, blockprinting, painting, “wet on wet, gutta, resist…. what am I forgetting
these next few are in the very beginning stages. the chunks you see on a couple of the squares is salt. Its supposed to create an interesting ring effect.
