Creating Worlds With Turmoil.

And they probably wouldn't survive the meteorites, which were headed straight for them. These monsters were printed in the spirit of building forts and new worlds when I was five, and Jonathan Hiett made Ken kiss Barbie, under the seat of the car, from the time we left until we came back. My mom told me she saw what we did.














These monsters are hand screen-printed on hand-dyed cotton canvas

Not the best picture, but this is what became of part of the yardage I printed. Jonathan Hiett is the owner of a set of these.
Using the Textile Design CAD program, Texcelle, I created coordinates and a colorway for the screen-printed pattern.

This pattern is hand screen-printed, using the photo emulsion method, and an attempt at repeat pattern registration. The fabric is hand-dyed cotton. The pattern is inspired in memory of Sharon Hiett, as well as are the quilted pieces below, but it sounds silly to me to say anything expanding on this.

The bikes to the left are free motion embroidered in gold thread on muslin. They are quilted and bound using a traditional quilt binding method.

Apron/Aproff

This apron is made of cotton muslin, hand-dyed with natural and synthetic dyes. I created the motifs on the fabric using traditional tie-dye methods such as: clamp resist immersion dyeing, arashi shibori, and crumple resist immersion dyeing. All of the fabric, except for the ruffle ties, was dyed in the same synthetic rose colored dye, and then the two packets were over-dyed for different amounts of time in the same vat of royal blue, synthetic dye. The ruffles were arashi shiboried in a vat of natural osage orange dye, with a few seconds in the royal blue vat.
