A Studio Weekend of Dyeing and Printing

Saturday was all about the eco-dyeing and printing and it was Hot.  I wrapped and cooked 11 bundles,  fabrics I’ll use to make some wall pieces for my upcoming show “Must Love Art”.

As the sun was going down, I felt like a kid that had been playing in the dirt all day and I liked it.

Here’s the bundle bounty as of Sunday am.  Now to let them rest awhile….

Sunday was even hotter, a perfect day for some breakdown screen-printing and direct drawing with dyes.

I’m still working to complete some more dye drawings for my show that opens on Sept. 1 at Metro Frameworks/ 44T Artspace Gallery in Denver.  It’s a bit tricky making art for 2 shows that open the same time at different venues, but I’m not complaining.  I have lots of lists, they keep me sane.

I have until end of July to finish up work for the 44T Artspace show, so once we’ve finalized which work will be in that show, I’ll be able to devote all my art-making energies to our big “Must Love Art” collaborative show.  I’m even going to have a “stay-cation” week of full-time studio time to kick off the month of August where I’ll be singularly focused on our big “Must Love Art” show – can hardly wait for that.
