I have been working

I love the spring...because that means it's time to break out the dye buckets and paper pulp! I have been dyeing fabric. Lots of fabric. Here are a few textile-love links for you:

aboubakar fofana (I just discovered this one....breathtaking)

lena corwin (I L-O-V-E her book!)

dharma trading (my favorite place to get textile supplies from)

dosa (click on special projects and then the life of jamdani)

There. That should tide you over until next time.

I have textiles on the brain

Please, please, please check this out. Click on the "special projects" link, and then click on the "life of jamdani." Scroll through all of the photos and read the text. Simply gorgeous, and so, so, so inspirational. This made me want to find some fabulous, gauzy cotton and try to mimic these handwoven textiles with batik and block prints. It also made me realize that gorgeous art does not have to come from pristine studios...your backyard and an old bucket are all that you need. Let me know what you think in the comments below. I love reading comments and respond to everyone that I receive.
