the process

it was with a faint heart that i unwinded the warp,yes after it was so nicely winded,and started painting .

was using some left over extracts bcse i had no heart to discard them after all those plants and bugs had worked so hard to produce color. the background was a faint alkanet . 

the dots and color fields were brazilwood,

it is a slow process bcse  it's paint, dry advance warp and all over again.

enjoyed using my japanese background coloring brush. those trips are the trips that keep on tripping as i continue to make use of all the tools that i have collected. i am also enjoying putting to practice what was learned in the maiwa workshop.if you have the chance take any of their online workshops.pure delight.

this piece will need proper finishing once it is woven .all at its due time.
