This piece is the finished product from my Shirbori class with Jan Myers-Newbury at the Nancy Crow Barn & Studio. It measures 53 x 25.5 inches and is made entirely of pieces that I clamp resisted. I keep pulling out the pole wrapped pieces I made there and toying around with ideas for another quilt top. I think I need to do some more pole wrapping first so i have a larger selection of fabrics to work with. I recently ordered some new colors and more soda ash so nothing stands in my way other than time, which we are all short of.
These two pieces are tops only. They are unquilted & unembellished and made from fabric that I hand dyed and screen printed. I used some design ideas I had done in paper for my city and guilds course as the source inspiration. The one with the circles i plan to highlight with embellishing the small yellow circles in particular so they aren't so washed out. I have some threads picked out and next time there is a lull where i am looking for some handwork these will be ready to go.
I pulled another piece of fabric out to make a third piece and decided it needed more color so I spent a couple of days screening and batching and washing. Next post i'll try and show those results.
I have a bunch of zinnia's flower centers i need to mono print soon for the commission so better get onto that next.
