Botanical Printing

This summer I haven't made a lot because I've been unwell.  But I did get to do some botanical printing on my heat press.  The prints below were done with a wild grape colour blanket.  I'm glad I planted the Japanese maple last year because it shows up well.  The other plants are St. John's wort, rose leaves and coreopsis flowers.

The prints below are a little smaller and are overprinted on backgrounds I didn't like that much from previous printing. More coreopsis and Japanese maple.  Thanks again for having a look.

Munster Library exhibit

 Out-of-the-Box had an exhibit at the Munster Library in April 2023.  This is the piece I made for the show.  It measures 18.5 X 25.5 inches.   It's called New Life.  The theme of the show was Spring Awakening.  I made this with hand painted fabric (sun printed) for the top and hand painted cotton for the bottom.  I added some hand embroidery and machine quilting.  Thanks for having a look!

Fibre Fling 2023

We just had Fibre Fling 2023 at Kitchissippi United Church in April and this year it was in person again.  I had some hand painted fabrics for sale there and I did sell some.  I haven't been posting because I've been unwell for several months.  But I'm slowly getting into making some artwork again.  Here are some of my fabrics on the left three rows.  It was so great to have a live show again!
