Naturally dyed fabrics and silk thread with Shisha mirrors
Using some tissuetex (thanks Caroline!) and brusho inks to form the background.
Then printed using a lino cut I made for C&G and the new mangle.
Stitched in red and black silks. Great fun!
Acrylic paint on calico and more printing, same silks.
This is my favourite piece, acrylic paint on artists canvas, several lino prints and more stitching in silk.

These are great! I love the quiet circles and raw edges of the top one and also that faint black line at the edge of the white print on the last one. Looks like the mangle has been a real asset!
ReplyDeleteLovely, yes I also like the peaceful quality of the top one
