Surfacing Again


Hmmm well one could take that to mean several things! Actually I've been surfacing fabrics. Here's a piece, well two pieces, that I rust dyed last week, and now I've cut the fabric into two pieces and am working on different colorways. They both need more rusting, there's also some bits of natural dyed coloring on the fabric surfaces - applied with stamps - mostly quebracho black I believe. I started with natural muslin 7878 dyers cloth as my base. The top fabric has a gekko shape that was created using a stamp that had been dipped in quebracho black with a binder (gum tragacanth)
