I did it. I finally made it into the studio and took the rotary cutter to some fabric. I looked at the original piece of shibori fabric and suddenly saw a murky forest of trees and vines. I need to do a 12 inch square piece for the SAQA auction and got inspired to cut this up and assemble an abstract landscape. The piece of fabric was not large enough so I had to add some other fabric for a forest floor and sky. Here is the original fabric. I had not looked at it from the other orientation!
I seem to be getting some focus back. I am generally more tired than I like to be, but it is peak allergy season for me. I managed to do a deep cleaning of the fridge and filled it up with goodies from the local farmer’s market.
I forgot to show you one of my new acquisitions. I am a big fan of Karen Miller’s Katazome work. She cuts the most gorgeous stencils. I saw an oak tree at her show in Philomath, but it was not for sale. She had another which I acquired. I need to decide whether I want to stretch it or hang it loosely. Here it is:
And so my purple haze seems to be lifting or at least transferred.
i’m groovin’ on the purple haze, (wo)man!
Shibori is so hard to use and you’ve done it so well.
It’s beautiful!! I love that you had the courage to cut up your beautiful shibori. It takes a lot of crossing fingers and saying prayers when I cut into one of my own hand dyed fabrics. Beautiful.
Oooh, it looks like an illustration from a fairy tale book, a forest in the misty moonlight!
Absolutely gorgeous, Gerrie!
Very beautiful, I may be in a bidding war with Kristin.
GREAT new piece Gerrie.

Gerrie, I LOVE this new piece – good work!
I like what you’ve done here a LOT, Gerrie, just brilliant! And having seen Karen’s work in Philomath, I know how beautiful your new acquisition is.
Karen’s peice is enthralling Gerrie! A meditative quality to it!
Beautiful! I love this piece. Jen
Purple Haze is awesome! I don’t know that I would have seen trees and forest from that either. Good thing you flipped the fabric around.
oh, love the purple haze forest!
Beautiful piece Gerrie!
Originally a case of not seeing the trees for the haze? It’s beautiful Gerrie!
Ooooh, I really like that! It’s a lot like your indigo aspens, but not. Hmm. Now I’m going to have to pay special attention to the auction! Your Karen Miller piece is beautiful too.
