not pink this time...


No sewing these last days. I've been busy with other things, like sorting, cleaning, renovating... Hope to be back at the sewing machine in a week or two, and in my new playroom!
This is a close-up...
The next one comes from the small screens. I think I'm going to overprint it with a handmade block .
I've got a few others that are not very interesting. I guess they need more layers. I've already prepared another screen. The hardest part of the game is that you have to wait until the screen is dry before printing, otherwise the patterns vanish. (That's what happened with the bubble wrap...)
Today, I made a little mess with my dyes... I prepared some dye paste for deconstructed screenprinting. I knew this paste was too thin, but I couldn't help trying it with a handmade block... lots of drips... but maybe this fabric can be rescued tomorrow...
In the meantime, the screens are drying. They should be ready soon...
I'm using two books for these experiments, one by Rayna Gillman and the other by Claire Benn and Leslie Morgan.
This quilt is ready to be exhibited next week. I finally printed the medium blue fabric lightly with paint because the colour was too dull.
I'm not very excited about this piece but I see it as a good experiment, and I'm ready to move on to the next one.
I am back from Paris where I had a very good time.
The weather was much better than expected,
and I had the great pleasure of meeting Karen, one of my fellows from Twelve by Twelve.
