quietly stitching

first of all thanks to all who have stopped by the exhibit and those who have left comments.

in my quest to reduce the number of ufos i have been quietly stitching and assembling the different surfaces i have around the studio.
these ones for example: shibori on silk, walnut dyed  plus machine stitch net on solvy embellished with puff paint during my puff paint period. 

i found out that by layering paints, especially metallics,

it took away that plasticky crafty look and gave it a molten metal quality. some very interesting surfaces can be created so it's worth more experimenting .

i like way the shibori resist lines complement the net.
the black  running stitches frame the net and bring the whole piece together, don't you think?

a little book

(  ಠ_ಠ takes a while to format. blogger is getting less user friendly with the improvements. sigh)

the covers  fun with fabric and paints.the photos are not up to par- sorry! all the glitter and gilding

does not photograph well with natural light and too lazy to set up the lights. so bear with me.

this little booklet had been in process for an embarrassing while. i am happy to have finally finished it.

 the pages:

handwoven silk fabric sample.the warp started breaking after a while  even  after applying sizing.

it was cut and whatever had been woven was saved for better times.

hand  stitching and embellishing.the meshes were made by stitching on solvy , dissolving it and then painting and embellishing. i tend to produce surfaces and save them for future assemblages.

there's also angelina fiber- which is a trial to photograph- on the last page. i had to angle the book to be able to get an other than white splotch.
