This is one of the silk paintings that I recently finished. It was my second attempt at this technique so I'm just getting my feet wet, but overall, I'm happy with the result. It's a gestural sketch of the interior of a cathedral I visited in Italy.
It's all one color of MX dye: nickel, but since nickel is made up of more than one color, it seperates and that's how I was able to get all the variation. I also soaked the silk in coffee to give it an aged look and tone down the white lines created by the resist I used.

Shibori Dyeing
Today I did some hand dyeing and experimented with binding, wrapping, and injecting dye into the silk, I can't wait to see how it turns out.
Iron Pour
Some photos of the ECU Iron Pour that happened on Saturday night. My leather branding iron designed turned out pretty cool and tomorrow I'll be adding a handle.
