caterinagiglio. ARTIST: Eco Dyed Collage

Each summer...
I work on my submission
for
Sew Somerset
knowing that if the work is chosen

for publication,

it will be published

December 1

when... let's face it, no matter what holiday

you celebrate,

there will be festivity in the air..

and busyness buzzing

everywhere...

I was inspired by two things when I created

these eco dyed collages..

the black bean bath that soaked a kitchen towel

and the antique angels from

from a tattered print..

The pale blue shade of the black bean dye bath

reminded me of some

antique cover papers in an old

set of books that I have been

squirreling away..

they were lovely..

with a tiny blue, green and gold floral pattern..

and such a shame

not to be able to see them...

so I used them as my substrates ...

details, details, details...

it is always about the details..

Once again I am in great company

with

three talented artists who are blog friends:

If you stop by to see them,

do tell them I sent you..

and as always...
I am

especially grateful to

Stampington
and Sew Somerset

for publishing my work

and providing me with a teaching platform...
