New Blog Header - Student Work


A Great Big Thank You to junior Josh Berger for creating the new header on my blog.  I asked his permission to use his eco-dyed and stitched work that he created in my Intermediate 3-D class to put under my ARTISUN logo.  I love how it looks Josh, and I've had many positive responses to the whole new look of the blog.  Couldn't have happened without your hours of patience as you taught me how to work it.



Here is Josh's beautiful piece below.

Woven Silk Eco-Dye Samplers


I showed you last month these gorgeous silks that my 2nd year 3-d kids eco-dyed.  Now this month, they have ripped them into strips and woven them back together again, ala Jude Hill of Spirit Cloth fame.  They stitched them onto a thin back fabric with perle cottons and the result is spectacular.

This one was done by senior Angela Wan.  The silks she choose have so much shimmer to them which really accentuates her weaving.
This next one was made by junior Josh Berger.  He chose to sew with a highly contrasting cotton which gives him a powerful, striking result.  And lastly we have the work of  Senior Ashley Chowdhury.  Hers was my personal favorite because she choose to leave her tails dangling.  I always seem to gravitate to dangling ends  LOL

There is still more to do.  You will have to stay tuned to see where we take them next  :)
