totally fabricated

I took some photos of stitch-resisted silks that I dyed with natural dyes. The trampoline in our backyard is just about the only place that gets good light and isn’t covered in woodchips, so I bounced around and tried in vain to keep the fabric from blowing around everywhere. There are more photos up on flickr.

I love the process of taking the stitches out of the fabric after it’s dyed, never knowing whether or not the resist(ance) was successful until it’s been destroyed. The texture persists long after the stitches are removed.
