yellow

An often overlooked and avoided color..

gaugin's 'the yellow christ'

mark rothko's 'yellow and orange'

all done, for now

Wrapped up a submission for the ArtHouse co-op's "The Color Project' with some mini quilts, all about 9x11" and mixed media. 

All the above base on literary characters. Mixed media, fabric, paint, pages from the books, hand and machine stitching. The theme was to make the pieces primarily, red, blue, green or yellow. Above is the red, blue and yellow pieces..Poor Ophelia there in the blue, already becoming her ghost..

And I was so please with the silk hand dye results, I've used some of that in the 'green' piece, hand and machine made, with had stitching and hand spun wool yarn.

spring silk

oh my, have I loved doing this so..

I want to wear them..in fact maybe I will! all hand dyed 100% silk ties.  I've been crazy with the silk lately, and have a few new art quilts to post here as well. I've also done a great deal of hand dyed silk yardage.. anyone think they need some? Check the Etsy store out for the goods..

Lord, it's beautiful weather. Love the Virginia spring time..

sheer color wonderful..
