About the Studio this week

 I have been working in my Studio each day this week working on a variety of projects.

First I have eco printed some fabric and papers using a free type approach. I mordanted the fabric in alum and then sandwiched with leaves from my garden between some thick cardboard squares and tied tightly I placed in water on the stove in which I had placed some onion skins and some rusty bits and simmered for one and a half hours. I was aiming to get fairly abstract prints. The results below

I was pleased with the marks made and have added to my eco prints stash.

I also worked on my two sketchbook challenges - one a wee altered book and the other mainly abstract pages.

On my design wall a have a large procion dyed whole cloth pieces. I am studying it to hopefully get inspiration to complete on the theme of Place.
