Dyeing silk in black walnut is the best. You just boil some nuts and chuck the silk in the pot no mordant like with cotton or linen no worrying about it seizing of felting like with wool i love you silk in black walnut

thank you everyone for your continued support. this past semester was very rough and i'm about to go into my very lsat one and its kind of killing me but we will get there. and then i will have time. to blog

might be a weird ask but i like your work and wouldn't mind like, trying to learn from you? as an artist.

yeah do literally whatever the fuck you want. trace it for all i care. for that matter you should learn from any and all artists you enjoy, not just me. save it all into a folder impulsively, print them out and tape them to your wall (i do!). copy elements directly, the way an artist draws an arm, a mouth, anything. steal outfits from drawings, theyre free! its all free, did you know that? you dont actually have to ask like youre doing here. in fact, dont ask! i feel like we might be at a low point or something in the general understanding of art if we really feel a need to ASK before we mimic or take inspiration from somebody. honestly id like it if it just happened while i wasnt looking, i really dont need to be made aware. im not conjuring my artwork out of the ether or anything. i copy and mimic and trace all the time, every artist does, its not weird, its all free.

that quilter is Noriko Endo!!!!

an art quilt sample. its about 14x18in i think.

pentel dye sticks, procion dye on top of some of the fabric treated with the dye sticks, and scraps sandwiched between a backing fabric and a layer of tulle so that when i free-motioned sewed it in the machine the little scraps wouldn't get caught in the ring of the machine foot. there's a specific quilter that does this and my teacher based on the idea to me but i can't find her name rn :(

Meatcat, 2022.

the majestic sphinx is known for her riddles and oracles. please ask her about whatever's on your mind.

materials, processes, measurements:

organic cotton naturally dyed with madder and alum+ferrous sulfate mordant. I didn't mordant the base cloth so the madder would come out as this dusty pink instead of a bright red. I drew out my pattern pieces on the fabric and then spent a full week drawing on the mordant pattern with a little squeeze bottle applicator. Then I cut, sewed, and garment-dyed her. She's stuffed mostly with scrap foam and yarn from my school. She is Heavy and big, maybe 3.5 ft / 1 m long.

a definite favorite of all the bears i made. her new dad named her patricia

i layered and sewed down cotton and linen scraps over some kind of synthetic mesh, then used devoree paste to burn away some of the cellulose fiber. she's button-pointed at her legs and stuffed with recycled polyfil, sequins, and beads.
