Knitting FOREVER!

I have been knitting this lace pattern forever and a day. I used two skeins of a Noro self-striping lace weight yarn and itty bitty needles.....and I just might finish this week.....

Texture

This is a clay ball, hollow, and textured. I added iron oxide before the final firing. This seems like Zentangle as I fill each section with it's own texture from carving or hand made stamps or impressions from found objects such as rope or screw heads.

Channeling my inner middle schooler

I have been channeling my inner middle schooler by doing a bunch of ink doodles....some just designs of my own....some inspired by Zentangle patterns.....some just patterns of of names....

It is really good practice and I suspect will lead to some development of new textures for pottery and textiles.....

Problems wit blog press

I wrote these last two leaf entries several days back using BlogPress on my iPad, but couldn't publish them until the app had an update to fix bugs. So, sorry, for the poor blogging.....once again.

Lyno Carving Leaves

In my fabric class today, I started a lyno carving and then finished the opposing side when I got home. More leaves!

Leaves

I have been working with my leaves and scanning in some fabric prints....



This was a particularly washed out mono print that I liked. I used it to practice some hand stitching and play with density. Below is a class sample. I need to work more on my knots....


This mono print became a sample using layers of printed organza and machine stitching.


Tada!



This one was printed, several times, and then I added hand stitching, layered again with printed organza, and more hand stitching. Then I cut away the center section of shear fabric and highlighted the top outline with purple ink.
Kind of a lot going on...?
