every-single-day

More and More!

I did this little ditty last weekend. I am really enjoying working in my dungeon. It works out well that I make my fabrics in the summer months as the basement is super cool right now. This piece is stenciled with a store bought stencil and the overall color was monoprinted in several layers to get that coloring.

Lots of folk asked me to further explain the technique I used to do the piece in the last entry. That piece is COTTON, screenprinted through an interfacing stencil. I don't want to describe the technique in detail because I think you should support Jane by buying her book! She is an incredible person and artist and deserves every last cent of recogition, as do we all, as artists in this crazy world!
I can say that I used thickened Procion MX dye to print with.

To follow up on some other topics I love to talk about...

After our last baby hatched and flew the coop, we cleaned the birdhouse out. Someone has moved back in and has seemingly had more babies! We get to watch the process all over again! YEAH!!!

This weekend we will be hanging with my fab (art) friend Day and her man. We will be going to the Kingston Biennial.
I just had to buy a cute little outfit for this event! 30 bucks at J. Jill, if you must know.

I bought it in a pale teal blue that they do not show on thier website. It is bias cut, with groovy seam lines and a raw edge hem at the bottom. Love the hem! Being a cloth person the finish is FABU!
Hey! If people who love food are foodies, then people who love cloth should be clothies, no? hmm.

Speaking of food, Frozen Bananas! The popsicle of choice right now!

I will also be hanging with my mom, going to the Guilford Handcraft Fair. That is the best link I could find, the Handcraft Center's web site is down. We have gone every year for prolly 30 years! Some years I was just old enough to be a pain in my mom's butt!
