Eureka! For a long time I have been trying to solve the problem of how to blend colours and create graduation from one coloured fabric to the next. I have tried various products... pastels, acrylic paints and inks, and different application processes too, like mixing wool fibres into paint. None ticked every box. I need strength of colour, quick and easy application, and most importantly, a completely matt finish. Well this is it, as soon as paint touched fabric I just new ❤️ Thanks @cassart1984 for stocking this hard to find gem of a product, I will certainly be back for more! My mind is now whizzing with new possibilities. Think of all the beautiful, multicoloured, striped and spotty dogs I can now add to my to-do list. And the fine detail I can add with precision and ease. Next, I need to do some sampling to see how best to combine this finish with hand-stitched embroidery on top. #colourconundrum #trialanderror #gotthereintheend #result #mattfinish #colourblending #graduatingcolour #acrylicpaint #soflatgolden #sampling #testing #artprocess #textilesamples #goldenpaints #creativeprocess #problemsolving #eureka #artexperiments #learning #developing #painting #mixedmedia #textileart #myartisticjourney #dogart #dogartist #sculptureartist #fiberartist #fibreartist #softsculptureartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CnHJ8fzonXE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here are some embroidery designs inspired by traditional Japanese sashiko embroidery. Sashiko embroidery is often inspired by surroundings and some embroidery designs can even be traced back to certain areas in Japan. I wanted to represent my local area through these designs. The top design is inspired by leaves and flowers falling and floating on a lake, creating ripples. The second design is inspired by the layers of leaves that you can see when you look up at a tree. The third design is inspired by spring and new growth, it’s supposed to depict roots and plants in the soil. I am planning on using these designs for my final piece.

I actually thought I'd found a snag (lol) in the wool samples, in that the ones with the woolmark symbols were actually 100% wool as the label suggested. But then I found some that weren't. So even if there's a 'mark of approval', you can't trust it. #lackoftransparency #mindfulnessofwaste #fakefashion #textilesamples #textilefibre #fibre #wool #whomadeyourclothes #woolmark (at Design Museum)

I was experimenting with screen printing last week- I originally wanted this to be on silk but the silk prints didn’t turn out well so I experimented with muslin and it gives a lovely rustic effect to the piece. The prints were inspired by plants and colours found in the Somerset levels and I then stitched over it using sashiko inspired embroidery to show healing/mending through nature.

This week I’ve been looking at mending techniques such as Boro, Sashiko and darning for my FMP. I created samples and then combined all the different techniques I learned together. I was inspired by “wabi-sabi” (A Japanese philosophy that means “the discovery of beauty in imperfection”) and will be using this later on in my project also :)

[emilyphillips]

Here are some samples I created using natural dyes. I used weld to get the yellow, madder to get the pink, and logwood to get the purple. I also tried resist dying. 

The Benefits of natural dye is that it is non-toxic, so therefore better for the environment, as there is no toxic waste produced from this process. The textile industry is responsible for over 20% of industrial water pollution, and natural dyeing is a simple solution-it does use a lot of water but, like I said before, the waste isn’t toxic. Since I am looking at pollution for a part of my “Then and Now” pathway project, I wanted all of my art to be sustainable and have low impact on the environment around me.
