New Work

     I am enjoying my experimentation with the new Eco-printing techniques I am learning.  I am changing the variables, such as plant materials, fabrics, mordants, heating temperatures, and length of time involved, to name a few, and learning as I go.  So far, my favorite results are on Fuji silk broadcloth and silk noil, with some pleasing results on linen as well.  This is the most interesting turn in my work for a long time, and I am so enjoying the surprises along the way, in fact, each time I open a new bundle, I feel like it's Christmas morning!  I get so excited!  Here are some pictures of my latest pieces, with details of the eco-prints.

Cascade, 8 1/2" x 23" linen and silk noil with burlap, antique book page pieces, buttons for accents. This art quilt is more mixed media than my artwork usually is...lots of pleasing changes taking place.
