on fabric. getting the hang of it and cultivating bravery for thickening it and stamping on the right side.

it works so far it has even been submerged in water with little loss of color. however, wash and wear is beyond my scope of reseach. although it still needs work this piece is gradually coming together.

on the other hand this one is done.

from my digital printing background
 period. digitally printed dyed  silk with a silk shibori scrap, silk velvet and raw silk embellished with french knots

notice the mention of time travel again. current obsession.

temporal paradox and quantum physics

now that i got your attention with such a nerdy title let me elaborate in textile terms.i've been revisiting this past series my one and only take on overshot.it is considered the the quintesential hand weave structure as it is difficult to replicate industrially.i've never been really drawn to it because it has a marked old fashioned look which is too much for my liking. having said this, many moons ago i tried it  with the agenda of bringing it into  what i considered more up to date aesthetics.( even with gloriously evident errors)

we're dealing here with time travel sui generis. ( ¨¨ ω¨¨ )    

for this project, the yarns precede the design .been going through the stash and once i find the one then the design will follow. come to think of it this is the way i work;the adage i let the yarns speak to me.

and they do, sometimes they even cuss.

this on the backburner while the silk is slowly being reeded, a never ending chore.
