Flowing with great speed

We have all the dying done and we will be removing all of the wax lines today... The silk fabric is so shinny that it makes all of the images glow. I thoink we will have a lot of the details in the line work done today too.

Next step

Now that all the lines have been waxed it is time to create with the dyes. Madina had to remove a lot of the vinegar mothers from the dyes and replenish the colors. It is coming alone quite quickly. the time that will take the longest will be embroidering EVE.

Hot September

The Wax has arrived and the project is moving along. We now have all the back ground waxed and soon we will be dying the silk. The project looks very full of Eden Garden. I will be asisting Madina in filtering the dyes.

Next on the project

Mad and I have started on the next step on the new project. We have selected the piece of 100% silk canvas and have drawn out the design. Mad has started waxing out the lines with her kitska tool. We still have to wait for more wax from the cities. But we are plugging along. We have done some testing on a extra piece of silk and here is some of the results.

Grey Morning

Starting a new idea for the winters project. It may take all winter considering that I have a bakery job right now. It dose not leave much time for art. But I am very exited about this project. It will consist of all the finery of life.
100% Silk canvas,hand painted dies, gold leafing, cotton embroidery floss, Silk floss, satin,glass and lead crystals.
It will consist my nude figure and her name will be EVE. But the rest will be a garden for all the scenes.

September at Moon Bay
