Hi Odette
I'm glad that you like the effect!
All of my bugs are made digitally of hand dyed fabrics or papers that I have scanned into the computer. and virtually "cut" into shape. The luminosity of the colors is the way the shibori dyeing looks. I…
Stunning!! Is this beetle painted and how did you get that shimmery effect??
Wow.....amazing! Is this bits of fabric appliqued on to paper?
Thanks Lorna!
Oh thank you mermaid!

Cobi Wittekoek said… - all these different names that are used makes you wonder who's who, isn't. its just when you start a blog or picturealbum they want you to come up with a name. I use the names autumngirl ( I love autumn, my fave season), paddestoelengek (means toadstoolcrazy), crazydyer (combining my two loves: crazy quilting and dyeing fabric) and forestflower.
a rr is a round robin. so you start something like a block for crazy quilting or patchwork or a piece of cloth for fabric dyeing and you pass it on and the next person adds to it and passes it on again. when it has made the round you receive it home (almost) finished. at the complex cloth group they do a lot of dyeing rr's. haven't participated there yet. I'm member of the dyehard groups and we do complex cloths as well. you can do any technique you like ranging from shibori, glue resist, stamping, stenciling, shaving cream marbling and more. yesterday I've been to an exhibition on wax prints. so inspiring. I took quite some pictures. hope to upload them today. I suffer from cfs so I pay a price for every extra thing I do. daily life is tiring enough as it is for me, but I refuse to give in.
I put your blog in my favorites. I'll be back!

- thank you for explaining. I have to get out my shibori book to look up itajime shibori. I've used my pc to copy and print fabric patterns on paper so that I could cut the paper for caleidoscopic effects, without spoiling my fabric. I haven't done that kind of playing with the pc you mention. sounds great, but I don't know how to do it (yet). my mind is already spinning after seeing those pretty Hawaiian quilts that are perfecty symmetric.
the spiderweb is done on a rr block. I'm nuts about rr's. I'm even in dyeing rr's. here you can see the whole block. the spider is a nose piercing, the web is hand embroidered with Gütermann Silky metallic. just did some more embroidery with that type of thread, a damselfly
my dye album is here
its clear to see I still have a long way to go where shibori is concerned. btw is every type of rice paper good to use. I think I only have very thin ricepaper used for painting Sumi é, Japanese art form.

- anna lisa I find your shibori astonishing. also the way you use them for Hawaiian appliqué and the insects are so inspiring. I was wondering with what do you dye? I use procion. can I get these results using procion? and how do you find all these fascinating patterns? your work is so, so special, I love it.
