yesterday’s textile collage, sewn. yesterday was the first time i have sat in front of my sewing machine for roughly a month and it was weird and i feel super rusty. . . . #textilecollage #textiles #textileart #textileartist #recycledmaterials a textile collage a la @palimpsestparade (unsewn) . . . #textilecollage #textiles #textileart #textileartist #recycledmaterials #recycledfabric on today’s episode of Pushing Paint Around: painted rope. how i was attempting to deal with some bad news about the health of a loved one. would have stayed in the garage all day painting but it got too hot and i was forced to retreat insid a bit more of that painted recycled fabric a la @palimpsestparade . . . #textilecollage #textiles #textileart #textileartist #recycledmaterials #recycledfabric hi. yup, i have been awol. it’s a mix of travel, low mood, and (related!) hitting the creative skids HARD. i forced myself to paint fabric a la @palimpsestparade (i took an online course with her in the spring) this weekend and pushing paint i haven’t felt like making any patchwork or quilts in a few months, have been in an odd mental space and have been more interested in making clothes and knitting. i have also been doing a lot of downsizing and sorting through my scraps, and ar over the weekend, with a little help from my partner, i fixed up and polished up my website, including my old blog. it got me thinking: with the dominance of social media like FB, Instagram, etc., is blogging even still a thing? do you still blog? as the calendar prepares to flip over into June, i am rabidly knitting two sweaters 🥴 top is black worsted carried with a lace weight handdyed merino, bottom is worsted with lace weight mohair. . . . #fiberart #fiberartist #textileart #textiledesign a photo of me from 2007, back when i ran an online fashion/style sharing project on Flickr called #wardroberemix - at the time of this photo i was 32, living in San Francisco, and was about a year out from my first fashion design degree, and hadn&rsq a bit of silk (i think maybe charmeuse?) that i painted last week as a sample; i may paint this up as yardage and make something pretty (to wear). in somewhat related news: i am going back to school to study patternmaking (what they call Fashion Tec the hand-painted black and white @itsallinthestitch #gibsoncoat is now done — stick a fork (pin?) in it... 😂 . . . #textileartist #textiles #textileartist #fiberart #fiberartist #improvquilting #surface design #handpaintedfabric #fabric-painti laying low, and slowly chipping away at finishing this @itsallinthestitch #gibsoncoat — fabric is @konacotton Natural, splatter painted/watercolor painted with black @jacquardproducts #dyenaflow — even the binding was painted to match. i i have felt pretty tapped out lately, creatively and psychologically, and have been dealing with some really dark thoughts, crying every other day, sometimes dealing with some suicidal ideation. even so, i keep puttering along, as the act of making the #boroquilt inspired quilted coat, made with bits of indigo overdyed bits of my dad’s shirts, still in progress. will be adding hand stitches and more patches in the weeks to come. . . . #quilts #quilting #modernquilt #modernquilting #moder a colorful studio corner and a satisfying hand painted and hand dyed stack of scarves... . . . #textileartist #textiles #textileartist #fiberart #fiberartist #improvquilting #surface design #handpaintedfabric #fabricpainting @dharmatradingco this cotton bandana i am painting in the garage is super magical ✨🌈 . . . #textileartist #textiles #textileartist #fiberart #fiberartist #improvquilting #surface design #handpaintedfabric #fabricpainting @dharmatradingco i am on a clothesmaking kick right now, dominated by an obsession with #quiltedcoats - one of the next experiments in that vein will likely feature this watercolor inspired splatter print @konacotton (kona natural) i painted in the garage studio this today: a self-drafted #dirndl made from thrifted hand-woven Guatemalan (I think?) yardage. paired with a boxy @mujiusa tee shirt and indigo dyed @vans (i am a sneakerhead). these types of photos bring me back to my #wardroberemix days, it’s ki i wore a handmade outfit today, so i thought i would play along with the whole #memademay2021 thing another day. my pants are cropped @stylearc #stylearcbobpants in a black and white shot linen, and the button up boxy cropped shirt is @stylearc #sty i am obsessed with my new #gibsoncoat (pattern by @itsallinthestitch ) - i have been wearing it all day, and i know it will be a staple in my wardrobe come the cooler months, and probably forever, honestly. swipe to see the back! . . . #quiltedcloth
