Enter My Laboratory...

Velcome.... MWa-hahahahaaaaa! These are the deep dark depths of my madness.
This weekend was a low-key one by design. I worked in my dye stuo (A.K.A the basement). I have begun to explore the processes learned in Jane Dunnewold's class.

This one is just stamped, no screenprinting here. The color is a bit saturated in this photo- it is lighter in reality. I good and gentle start. I like it alot.

This is a screen printed one that I would like to push further. I like it though I would like to ground it a bit.

I hated this when I made it. It is starting to grow on me though. None feel finished yet, maybe that is this issue, but I made headway. One of the things I am enjoying about working in cloth right now is that I have begun to work on one yard pieces, sometimes larger. I had been working on fat quarters and I find working larger to be freeing and expansive.
I am focusing on making cohesive design motifs. That menas if I have handmade stamps with leaf motifs, I am trying to make screens with complimentary motifs to expand and play with the ideas I have already explored.
