This is my newest work, consisting of many types of silk fabric which have been shibori or bamboo resist-dyed. Each piece of fabric has been dyed and overdyed, sometimes bleached and again re-dyed, resulting in layers of pattern and color. I then machine sew the strips together and it is top quilted with transparent nylon thread. Some are framed, some hang freely from a top bar. There is a wonderful luminous quality to the varying types of silk and how it accepts the color and patterning. Colors are absolutely permanent, it can last as long as a painting. Consider a unique piece of fiber art which can add warmth and energy to your environment.
