Unexpected Inspiration

It has been a fulfilling year so far (creatively, that is)!  A recent project yielded unexpected monoprints and other serendipity……

Work in progress - one step at a time. . . #process #naturaldyes #printoncloth #textile #textileprocess #textilestudio #printpaste #logwooddye #naturaldyersofinstagram #wip
In progress: printing/painting thickened #logwood, #madderroot and #cochineal ... The colors will mellow and soften once fully processed ...right now though, the high contrast is pretty dynamic. . . #naturaldyersofinstagram #textilearts #textilecraft #naturaldyes #colorsfromnature #handdyed #studioprocess
Starting to merge indigo with other dyes now...these pieces fresh out of a Myrobalan pot. The yellow is softer, more like pale celery than the shock of Weld in previous images. I like that muted, soft quality. . . #naturaldyersofinstagram #textilearts #textilecraft #naturaldyes #indigo #myrobalan #colorsfromnature handdyed
Dye, spin, print, paint, stitch 🌸 . . #naturaldyersofinstagram #textilearts #textilecraft #naturaldyes #cochineal #weld #colorsfromnature #handdyed
Recent cochineal dye bath. I love natural dyes for a lot of reasons. For one, what they require in water, they make up for in reuse and/or recycling potential at every level of the process. I am currently exhausting most of the remainder of this cochineal bath (with a bit of added logwood) and have set aside the remainder for pigment capture (for a true "Crimson Lake") More on this soon. . . #naturaldyersofinstagram #textilearts #textilecraft #naturaldyes #cochineal #colorsfromnature #handdyed
Looking forward to my #naturaldye workshop tomorrow featuring these essential ingredients! . #naturaldyersofinstagram #textilearts #textilecraft #naturaldyeworkshop #kathycolt_workshops #colorsfromnature
Preparing for my #naturaldye intro workshop This 3-hour survey session is being held this Saturday at the Southeast Fiber Arts Alliance. . #textileworkshop #naturaldyeworkshop #textilearts #kathycolt_workshops
A textile/fiber artist's work varies from day to day. In my world today, it's about gathering, planning, calculating, weighing. Maybe a bit of dyeing, processing, cutting, stitching... throw in a few other activities along with nourishing body/mind/spirit and it's a jam-packed adventure! . #process #textilestudio #studioprocess #dyersart #textile #fiberart #textiledesign #creativepractice #lifeisartartislife
Working with paste resist/ #indigo immersion. . #indigodyeing #organicindigovat #naturaldye #process #handdyedtextiles #textile #resistdyeing #textilestudio
