Rust

Spring has Sprung!

And it’s time to start rust dyeing fabrics!

Yesterday I shared in my newsletter that for the most part I had pretty much lost my love of rust dyeing, and surface design. And then I purchased these cabochons, Outback Jasper, and suddenly my mojo had returned!

I love these stones, to t he point that I’ve purchased more of them to add to my growing collection.

Preliminary sketches. I'm creating a new series, for an upcoming show in mid-March based upon the colors and textures of local grain bins, silos, and elevators. Some of these structures are very old and are made of wood and other interesting materials.

I will be live streaming about this series this coming Saturday Evening at 7pm CST in my FB group Almost Stitched, it's free to join!
