Dying, playing and we are in the middle of August!

Since rust-dying last month, this month I’ve tried dying with natural pigments, cochenille,madder, catechu, bluewood, yellowwood and turmenic.

Here just out of the dye bath and
after it was washed and ironed the colours ended like this: cotton
and silk (mostly)

The bright yellow is turmenic. I had hoped for brighter colours, but not this time. My problem is that I am not good at following precise recipies, I like a more random approach!

Last week I met with some friends for a little workshop, laminating. This is my result:

We had plans for an extra treat, crackeling with flour paste, but time ran out. So I tried it yesterday.
It was a lovely day, so I could dry it in the sun, first the paste
then fabric paint, and at last finished on the washing line:

Last I want to show you my quilts for the Calender with Texnet2, August:

«Between green and blue», 15×15 cm cotton, and
«The reconciliation of the wind in the forest», monoprint using leaves from the garden, 15×32 cm.

Thanks for reading, I hope you have enjoyed this.

Hole in the glove!

Hole in the glove!

I am dying a gradation of black today and suddenly I discovered a hole in my glove:

Nice to go to work with a black finger! But, luckily, I had not put in the Soda Ash, so most of the colour was gone when I arrived at work. The fabrics are waiting for me to come home, hopefully there is more colour on them.

 
Jeg farger en gradering av svart i dag, og plutselig oppdatget jeg at sdet var hull i gummihandsken. Koselig å gå på jobb med svart finger. Heldigvis  hadde jeg ikke hatt i Soda Ash, så det meste forsvant før jeg kom på jobb. Nå venter stoffene på at jeg skal komme hjem, forhåpentligvis er der mer farge på de.

Welcome

I love to make things. I like knitting in the evenings, and tending my garden. I love to work with fibres, to colour and shape things. I find great inspiration in older Japanese design, the art of Hiroshige and Hokusai being my favourites. I also dabble a bit with bookmaking, binding my own sketchbooks to play in and fill with my research, as well as making textile books.
