Today at Dyeing to Paint members were invited to bring along pieces of work that they had completed using some of their own hand dyed fabric – which produced a stunning display of talent!

Pat brought along a silk scarf that she had made. She printed it with Indian wood blocks and then lined it with cotton to produce this beautiful scarf….

Corinne showed a small wall hanging that she had made from a Gillian Travis kit. The fabric at the top and bottom of the piece was hand -dyed by Corinne. She also showed a turtle (wip) which incorporated her own hand dyed fabrics and stencilling.

Keris brought along the same wall hanging which contained some of her own dyed fabric and the backing fabric was some that she had bought in Amritsar. Keris is also working on a piece (alliums) that she created at a previous session where she used a toilet roll and cotton buds to create the allium shapes.

Chris had completed her cockerel and was working on a cushion cover that she had bought. She didn’t like the two horses so she turned them into unicorns and added some stencilling – very creative!

Monica showed a couple of small pieces of work that she had completed following previous trips to India. The Indian flower panel was one of the first art quilts she had ever made. She took the design from a photograph she had taken on a trip to India back in 2009.

The indian lady was also created from a photograph that she took on her travels

Monica had also delved deep into her cupboards to find a fabric book that she started to make a couple of years ago. Sshe showed some of the pages that she had completed and plans to continue with the book over the coming months

Jan was eager to show her coat which she had dyed with a Dylon Dye a new lease of life and a beautiful colour! She spent the day experimenting with her Inktense pencils and is creating some lovely pieces of work

Janet was pleased with a stencil that she had made. A very clear print was achieved from it as well. It is good to start thiking of Christmas early Janet!

Mary brought along a the front of a greetings card that was the perfect stencil to experiment with and she aslo had a go with some new stenicls to create some lovely images

Maggie continued working on images that she had created at the screen print workshop

And we managed to capture some lovely pieces of work that Liz had secreted away in her stash. Lovely landscapes and painted bondaweb

These roses have come out particularly well…

As usual a very busy session with lots of chatter and laughter with heaps of creativity thrown in! Well done everyone
