Again, working further with the fabric that I previously parfait dyed using RIT dyes,
I've created a series that I plan to mount separately on 1 1/2" deep canvases for hanging.
The RIT dyes produced fabric that was almost ethereal in appearance. This was fun to work with in contrast with a Denyse Schmidt print, alongside a Kona cotton, a commercial solid and a batik.
By simplifying my color pallet, I found that this piecing technique created framing that looked like portals, gates or entrances to the skies.
I used a few directional lines of stitching to help guide the viewer's eye.
Hmmm? They still need something more. Maybe another layer. Some paint? Distressing? . . .
Not really done yet.
