These 3 scarves were eco-dyed using leaves I collected on my recent trip to Maine. I was enamored by the different shades of green on the many different kinds of trees. I don't know the names of the trees the leaves came from but some printed very well, some didn't pass on their colors to well. The scarves on the left I will be stitching the short ends together so they'll look nice wrapped around the neck. The lightly printed parts will compliment the dark areas. One scarf for me and one for my friend with whom I visited up North. A remembrance of our great time together.<br />
<br />
The following image is one of three pieces in progress. One stitch at a time. No hurry. I sure love the slow meditative pace hand stitching allows.<br />

I am attempting to figure out how to post using my cell phone. I think I've got it</div>

These are my latest eco printed fabrics. I picked up spent flowers from a local florist at the great suggestion from my lovely sister Marlene. My pot continues to be water with a walnut, rusted metal, and a cup of vinegar. Leaves and flowers are placed on wet fabric and then wrapped around the copper piping. The water in the pot is brought to a boil, then I put the fabrics in and let it simmer for about 2 hours.. I usually end up unwrapping the bundles when they are cool to touch. I'm usually always happy and pleased with the results. The joy of eco printing is that I can always print again if the results are not to my liking.Dianehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03208787320102835502noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935347836972889887.post-50130061715107921432014-12-18T11:23:00.000-05:002014-12-18T11:23:15.640-05:00Ecoprinted crazed<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I've been non-existent for months. I've done some creative fiber art in the past months - not much. I'm still in total bliss caring for my littlest grandchild - that's where most of my energy is spent. Though, I must say, my attendance at the recent Nature Printing Society Workshop held at Wildacres Retreat, Little Switzerland, N.C. last month has got my creative juices flowing. I took classes in Papermaking using leaf inclusions, East meets West - Sumi ink sprayed on fish and leaves then watercolored, Gelatin Plate Printing and lastly and most thrilling for me was Eco dyeing paper and fabric. I came home and dyed.<br />
<br />
Process in a nutshell: roll leaves in fabric around a copper pipe, bind tightly, boil in water that had rusted metal, vinegar, black walnuts and pesto - beauty!<br />
<br />
My prints at the workshop were not the best but good enough for my local fiber friends. The pieces I've done at home were much more to my liking.<br />

<br />
This is my most favorite - on silk.<br />

My newest grandchild was born the end of March and I've been sitting for this little fellow. A Joy! The other two grandbabies who are 3 1/2 and 1 12 years old now get on Skype often to my life more complete. Oh, I get to see them in person too - trip to their home and a family reunion.<br />
<br />
Those babies as well as traveling has made me put art on the back burner. <br />
<br />
I did manage the first 3 new pieces that were entered in my local Island Art Association's Nouveau art exhibits. I feel obligated to enter in these 2 month themed shows as I am one of the Association's Exhibiting Artists.<br />

I quickly completed the Beach Scenes and the composition Book covers - all raw-edged applique and machine stitching. Short but sweet projects which I enjoy making every once in awhile. I do have some "car projects" going. Beach scenes and 2 more "Tidal Pool" pieces. All on the small size which are easy to hand stitch in the car.<br />

My latest fabric portrait. This one of my granddaughter, Brenna. Her momma and brother call her "Sweetie" and she is a sweetie! I've entered the portrait in exhibit "Portraits and Figures" at the St Augustine Art Association. I used double reverse applique method taught by Ellen Lindner.Dianehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03208787320102835502noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935347836972889887.post-33363408518859374542013-12-30T07:55:00.000-05:002013-12-30T07:55:32.086-05:00A Bit late <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Most of the piecing and embroidery were down while on a trip to and from visiting my grandchildren. I am so grateful I can stitch in the car! These are a part of a seemingly never-ending love of doing beach scenes. These are 6 x 6" and attached to gallery wrapped frames. Just plain fun! <br />
<br />
I'm entering these in "Small Works" an exhibit in my local Island Art Association's Nouveau Art Exhibit.<br />
<br />
Yippee!!!! I won an Honorable Mention!<br />

The blue pieces are paper/paint collages that I plan to frame. I haven't named them yet. Any suggestions?<br />
<br />
The middle one is all fabric. I used the pieces I monoprinted earlier. Hope it works. I haven't come up with a name for this either. <br />
<br />
These are among the pieces I plan to hang at an upcoming exhibit at a local bank.<br />

"Morning Tea" is my entry for the Nouveau Art exhibit entitled "Everyday Stuff" being held by my local Island Art Association. Last minute is NOT the way to go. I enjoy my tea each and every morning using an old teapot my old nursing school roommate gave my eons ago. I thought of that teapot as soon as I read about the theme. The background is a not-so-great deconstructive screen print I attempted with my sister. I tore it in strips and did some weaving. I rather like the effect. Lesson: never give up on something. I photographed my teapot and used the outline to stitch upon an old tea towel I embroidered as a little girl. Just love it. All stitched down, stretched on stretcher bars, photographed, then realized the teapot melts into the background. If I had more time, I would have taken it apart and machine stitch or something to bring out the teapot. Since time ran out, I handstitched around the edge - better, but not great. Oh well. Lesson: spend more time in the design!<br />
<br />
The next project was a healing doll for a friend of mine just diagnosed with breast cancer. The whole poem or rather a song of "Deep Peace" is quite moving. I'll post the source later. Hope the words I chose and the doll itself bring comfort and peace to this dear friend.<br />

I used a foam padding with plastic on top as the printing plate, spread my paints, pressed some texture plates, added dried leaves and laid the fabric on top.<br />
<br />
Usually I use my wonderful gelli plate but wanted to try out a Pinterest idea and voila these gems, if I say so myself! Now all I have to do is design something!<br />

The above 3 are examples of some beach scenes I've been stitching. I've mounted these on gallery wrapped frames. It seems this size is a good choice as a few have been sold already! My fiber art group had a little workshop a month or so ago and got me back into doing little beach scenes. I can stitch these up while traveling in the car (as a passenger).<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I saw a piece on the internet that sparked my creativity. Hope you can see the encrusted items - items stitched in place between the top layer and the backing. Then I added embroidery stitches on top. The folds reminded me of the ripples on the sand left by the tide coming and going. This piece I submitted to the "Tactile Show" at the St. Augustine Art Association.<br />
<br />
The following is a bowl that was a little over the top - lesson learned - simplicity is better than complex. I thoroughly enjoyed the process and will make another - with less of everything.<br />
<br />
This "encrusted" work was first introduced to me through an English magazine called "Stitch." I don't subscribe anymore but my old issues are getting my attention once again.<br />

I was tickled to death when a lady emailed me saying she loved the two portraits of my grandson, Max playing on the beach, that were hanging in my local Island Art Association. She had been tempted to buy one but wondered if I would do a piece of her two granddaughters. I said "Yes! I'd be honored." Well, this piece was a long time in the making. Several starts til the above. My customer was satisfied! That I am thankful for. <br />
<br />
Commissions are a tricky business. The two I've done - portraits - took much longer than I ever anticipated, curtailed my creativity in other areas, anxiety ridden as well. I'll probably reframe from accepting another commission though utterly thrilled to be asked.<br />
<br />
Onward to other creations!!!<br />

I though I needed a focal point, so choose some circles. First running stitches then the couched yarn. thinking about adding more stitches to the running stitched lines to make them more visual. Liking this process. Loving the free stitching. Loving letting the piece tell me what is needed.

I discharged this piece ages and ages ago. Loved it so much, I just didn't know what to do with it. I certainly knew I didn't want to cut it up! I machine stitched, using the bleached marks to guide my way along. Then the piece sat..... and sat...... and sat.<br />
<br />
My taking Jude Hill's class, I brought out the needle and thread - the latter being in my stash of threads - just the right color. I've spent the last few days stitching. Here are my thoughts:<br />
<br />
Journey<br />
crooked paths - leading to the same point of it it away from that point?<br />
One step at a time - or should I say - one stitch at a time.<br />
crooked steps - still in route<br />
Decisions : which path to take<br />
stepping around obstacles<br />
The journey not necessarily the distinctions is important<br />
Breath in, breath out<br />
<br />
Jude Hill has a story - really many stories.<br />
Where are my stories??? I don't talk about my work much and when i do I don't express my stories well.<br />
<br />
Time....... the journeyDianehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03208787320102835502noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935347836972889887.post-68554275657867937402013-05-26T10:38:00.000-04:002013-05-26T10:38:41.027-04:00Sun, Moon, Stars<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Don't you love my husband's play on words???!!! He is asked on occasion to give me some suggestions of titles. I had hinted on the feeling of serenity when I look out of my studio window upon the sea. The feeling of serenity/peace/contentment seldom fails to come over me.<br />
<br />
I am so grateful for the loan of this piece of land to me and mine. It belongs to the universe but the feeling, I believe, is mine.Dianehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03208787320102835502noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935347836972889887.post-89714683663896090182013-05-22T16:55:00.000-04:002013-05-22T16:55:48.253-04:00Painting beach sceneI painted some fabric for a beach scene.<br />

<br />
Things I have learned so far<br />
1. A whole new way of gell printing: ink up part of the plate, print just part of the paper, watercolor effect (adding water to the leftover paint on the plate), hold 2 ends of the paper and dip onto plate<br />
2. always add a second color to the plate - don't use paint right from bottle/tube<br />
3. Cardstock stencils may stick to the plate - ugh - leaves pulp behind<br />
4. Cardstock stencils end up looking beautiful with layers of paint - great collage material!<br />
5. Work in a series. Carla had us print 8 papers - of course 8 was not enough for me.....<br />
<br />
I'm sure there's more....... I'll return to gelli printing again after Friday's class.<br />
<br />
I highly recommend Carla's class. Check the Flickr link to the class images.
