FIBER JUNKIES - SEPT. MEETING - PART 4

In conclusion......this is how I spent my time....followed by Val's eco-dyed paper masterpieces!
 Of course I forgot to take a before photo.....this hunk of previously ice-dyed bamboo/rayon felt actually wasn't ugly....just sort of, well....not remarkable.
 After a dip in the indigo-dye pot.  Nice right?!?
 I needed to add to my inventory of image enhanced fabric for the fold-manipulated felt baskets I make for our space at Woolworth Walk. This piece of National Nonwoven Woolfelt is being printed with circles created with acrylic paint from the edge of a small plastic cup.
 The result.
 As is always the case with every Fiber Junkie.....WE SHARE.  This is a stamp that Gen carved....which she allowed me to use for the very first time!
 The result.
A small foam star stamp is being used to add elements to another piece of Woolfelt.
 Look at these last three photos.......gorgeous eco-dyed images on paper made by Val.

Next month we move back inside and we plan to do gelli-printing.

My oh my! Love your circles and how you used that stamp to create the illusion of weaving. And yes, Val's eco-dyes are fab!
