ArtybIrdcarnforth are having a spring exhibition in, not surprisingly , Carnforth UK. All week I have been preparing my piece.
My inspiration is this small part of Far Easedale Gill. The photo was taken on a cold April Day.
My piece will be made all in white and then naturally dyed. Just to be sure I have been doing some more dye tests. I was interested to see what difference pH would make to madder dying .
These results are not quite as different as I expected , but maybe I need a bigger pH change than from 5 to 7 . More work is needed I think!
I have also been preparing all my fabric and fibres which when added to the felt will build the texture and then the colours after dyeing.
Here they are all laid out on my table , not looking much at the moment but after felting and dyeing should be beautiful. I hope !
