motifs for prints

These are some of the motifs I developed

for the computer aided design (cad) class I am taking this semester.

Hopefully they will combine into a collection of prints.

hand manipulated fabrics

Montana

Joel and I hiked to a lake in

the Sapphire Mountains in Montana

two summer ago. We took some great pictures with our

polaroid camara

here is a drawing from one.

dress form tests

These are some tests

I did on the dress form with fabric I had dyed and printed ,

inspired by abstraction I did in paint.

Groundwater Shirts is a project that I started a little more than a year ago. This project focuses on giving new life to old garments.

I collected second hand T-shirts and through

embroidery, silk screening and applique gave them new life. More images of my up-cycled, organic, and bamboo clothing are on line at my websight:
