Indigo and Spain

7/18/2016

1 Comment

 
My recent trip to Spain inspired me to create a project using lines and shapes from the incredible architecture. I also wanted to practice batik techniques using soy wax. I dyed the waxed fabric in indigo to establish a foundation for a this new creation. I only dipped the fine cotton/silk fabric once and the color was great. I wondered if the wax would come off in the vat but I was pleasantly surprised that it held up well. I could have dipped it more than once as long as I was careful not to stir it around. There will be much more done to complete this project but I am happy with the beginning (18 x 24 inch) image.

Maureen, I LOVE your amazing creations! Every one of them speaks to me. I love the way you use colour, textures, creative placement of different fabrics and items, beautiful attention to details and the Light that shines through each piece. Are your pieces for sale? And how do we find out what is their price?
I would love to save to be able to purchase a piece....
In the meantime, congratulations -- you are your mother's daughter and more. I am stunned by the beauty of what you create.
Warm wishes to you Maureen,
Anne Morrison
