after working through the basics of colour extraction we played with bundles...this collection was extracted from the copper cauldron brought to the workshop by one of the group
we opened the bundles after letting them rest overnight and unfurled them to the breeze
and afterward we gazed into the bottom of the pot and found more magic...
Flying before blue sky: The wings of new age angels in colours of human life between slums and industry, dyed out of compassion in solidarity and carrying the message of love
ReplyDeleteHow you can get such beauty from nature!
ReplyDeleteThis magic nature, always surprising!
ReplyDeletehi there, your blog is lovely! I would have loved to take your workshop @ grampians texture but am taking the felt hat making class . will you be taking any other workshops aside from the big forums? :)
ReplyDeleteyes, as it happens I am planning some for South Australia...there'll be a single day workshop in March, i think, and i'm still sorting a longer one for a little later in the year.
ReplyDeletethere are external places available for 'Winterworks' but no live-in beds left...
Oh How exciting! I must say that going through your work and reading about your workshops really is an inspiration. I wish I could participate but seeing that I am, well, not even close to Auz. I will have to play on my own.
ReplyDeleteThe dyed bundles are artworks in themselves...they look amazing. The great unfurling must be a magical moment...will keep my eye out for a workshop with you one day.
ReplyDeletethe act of creating a bundle is a pleasure to begin with...rather like wrapping a lovely present.
ReplyDeletethe icing on the cake is that the moment of unwrapping is like giving a present to oneself of the nicest kind as the magic unfolds - no matter for whom the cloth is destined later!
love the results of the process.. beautiful muted and haphazard blendings... and the copper pot... well say no more.. I am in love with copper...
