Next in a series.
Processed (steamed, wax removed, washed, rinsed and dried). Matchbook arrangements of two separate but similar hue sets. I’m feeling a decidedly kaleidoscopic vibe from this wave of work...☀️
Continuing my wax-resist interlude. This cloth is for my 2021 wearable collection (see @petalunacollection for more).
More painted wax-resist samples (freshly applied dye paste).
Painted wax-resist samples, set 1 (before steaming and washing - so super-saturated!).
Cut/paste/splice/match/reverse/replace/filter - playing with images of wax-resisted and dyed paper as I regroup for a new round of work.
Natural dye workshop on my mind...a peek at some of the dyes we’ll be working with on March 20th.

Your amazing work does not stop, Kathy. Absolutely gorgeous colors. I can hardly wait to see more of your totally original pieces of wearable and art in the new colors. Nature must love to have you in her world. Sometimes beautiful simplicity, often sophisticated and always elegant.
Beautiful work! Wish I were there to take one of your workshops.
What a wonderful comment – Thank you! Wish you were here too – I know you would have a great time! xxoo
