Fibre Fling 2021!

This year Out of the Box, the fibre arts group I'm a member of, is having our Fibre Fling show online for the first time.  We used to have it at Kitchissippi United Church every April but things are of course different this year.  Here's the poster with all the info.  As you can see I happen to have a photo of a piece I made on this poster too although it's not in the show.   I have some of my hand coloured and sun printed fabrics in the show and one wall hanging featuring my eco printing for sale.  It's the one I had in the Stittsville Library show.   The show will be starting this Friday.  Please go and have a look at not just mine but all the interesting artwork!

Eco printed apron

 Last summer I did a course with the Wild Dyery online.  For the Leaf  Print Cloth course I made an apron out of all the eco printed samples I made.  They are mostly on silk noil.  I've printed plants from my garden and area such as rose leaves, buckthorn leaves, strawberry leaves, maple leaves, iris petals and a Bachelor's Button flower.  The pink is from natural madder dye.   The browny pink is from avocado pits.   Here's a photo of the apron spread out so you can see all the fabrics.  Click on it to see the details.  I added embroidery on some areas.



Here's a photo of the finished apron.  I'm quite pleased how it turned out:)  This was part of my last assignment of the course.  Thanks for having a look!  Please leave a comment below.
