Jaja, what a great body of work you have created!  It is great to see it all together... I love your dyed works of course, but also your pottery, and Sophie is wonderful!  I hope you are surviving the winter okay... soon it will be warm enough to do some more dyeing...

Take care!

Wonderful experiments Jaja. I love their organic quality and colors.
I always look forward to seeing what you've created.

Thanks  for nice comments. These days I'm just doing small swatches of fabrics with different techniques, not focused on tie-dye.
I've moved to opposite end of town and somehow couldn't find enough time to tie-dye, maybe later, when things would settle down.

I really like the work you did with stamping on fabric. It reminds me of a project we did in college. I had to make square stamps out of rubber. After we worked with them for awhile to make patterns, we had to add color and "over" stamp them, just like you would over dye. Our instructor wanted to see layers of patterns and demonstrate how the overlapping made it more interesting.

It is nice to see what you are doing with the hexagons and triangles.

I know what you mean about how moving messes up your creativity. I moved about six months ago, and I am just now starting to get back into the swing of things. It takes awhile to unpack, and set up the room to a point where everything flows smoothly and you can find things you are looking for.

It also takes awhile to feel comfortable again. Don't worry though, it will come back to you.

I'm glad you shared your pictures with us.

Jaja - WOW. BEAUTIFUL!!!! And inspiring too! Today I did two discharge projects I'd been putting off for AGES. The results weren't nearly as nice as yours, but I'm pleased - but mostly happy that it's DONE.

VERY nice - you deserve lots of pats on the back.

I'm glad to receive such nice feedback.
Deb, I think I can't do the same again now - I feel like I got "out of the rythm". I'm sure your project is nice if you're pleased with it.
fiberartist: Stamps are quite recent. I'm attending stamping courses. Yes, you have described it exactly - stuff I need still doesn't have final place, it is still stacked in boxes due to process of renovation of all the rooms.
