I have been very busy with ....with life. I have started this piece several weeks ago. I had looked at it off and on. Then I got this wonderful book by Rayna Gillman. WOW! What an inspiration. She has a blog too!
I trotted myself to http://www.prochemicalanddye.com/ just like she suggested and ordered some new cool stuff to try. Deconstructive screen printing here I come! She also has a really lovely looking chapter on soy wax batik. So I ordered piller soy to try that out with. I had to! Besides I was already going to order some one shot dye for some wool I want to make into a braided rug.
But for this piece I have some ideas. I want to get some raised pieces to add to it. Maybe a stumpwork like branch coming down across it somehow. Anyways that is what has been going on in my little world creatively.

Holy-Moly! That is one gorgeous piece. Visually and texturally (is that a word?) your work just keeps getting better and better!
Wow. This Art Quilt is fantastic. I love it when fiber artists elevate such a traditional (sometimes fussy) form to engaging heights. Truly a work of art.
Hi MaryAnn - your e-mail link didn't work so I'm leaving a note here. This piece is wonderful -- so urban! Have you finished it and what does it look like now? Would enjoy seeing more pix of your art!
