First Order to Tamarack






55%linen, 45%cotton. All fabrics were immersion dyed. The turquoise lines are machine cording!















Cotton canvas. Colored corn dextrin resist. The turquoise was in the dextrin and after it dried, I sprayed fuschia over top! The white lines are machine cording.

45%cotton
blind tucks








55%linen, 45%cotton. Beaded and quilted.














Woven Low Water Immersion strips!












This was very simple fabric to dye! First, a spray of orange. Next, layer the sumac leaves on and spray around them with fuschia. Last, roll fig leaves with brown and use them like a stamp!
