Pleating




It began with this:



I am inspired by Tinctory's pleated work, the extraordinary
craftsmanship, her use of natural dyes, and her photography.
When I find something amazing like this work I contemplate
upon what could I do that is my own with this inspiration.
The photograph above is the starting point for the image below.
I showed you yesterday what I did with paper. I like to do this
without knowing where I am going and with  the critical voice turned off.
I use various programs for drawing, painting, and photo manipulations.
Ultimately I will find something in that exercise that will provide the
perfect starting point for a mixed media fiber related work.
I did find that.
I am transferring the below image onto silk organza
which I think I will pleat and embroider.
I never know where I am going with this sort of project.
