Continuing to work on the scallop piece and experimenting with ways to generate images of texture on cloth. First of all, using flock to add the text to the dyed cloth. I really like the way this looks like a shadow from the distance, but is textured when you are closer.
Then experiments with painting Procion P dye directly on cloth
Lastly, using the front of an onion bag on an open screen
Printing with print paste
Multiple prints
Printing with black
I really like the way the flocked piece is coming along, it's the visual equivalent of onamatoepeia (sp?) it really looks as if its is drowning!
ReplyDeleteMuch thoughtful lovliness. Your scallop piece is very impressive! Glad that you have such a great outlet for side-stepping 'real life' for a while. x
ReplyDeleteReally interesting effects on the scallop piece. And I like the onion bags too!
