Thank you for reading my blog. While you are here feel free to look around at many of my previous posts. The column on the right lists various topics I have discussed. If any of them interest you just click on them and the posts on that topic will appear for you to read.
I want to share some more of the work I did at Focus On Fiber with you.
This is a piece of paper I painted "Jackson Pollock style" with the disperse dyes.
This is the print on a piece of fabric. You can print several times with one painting. I printed this 4 times and then did a few more partial prints with it on the this same arrangement. I will still be able to use it quite a few more times.
We also worked with lame. This is Gina's lame neatly wrapped around a pole.
This is my lame wrapped not so neatly on a pole.
We melted out some of the metal and then dyed the nylon that remained. This is an overview of the piece I did. Had I wrapped it as neatly as Gina did I think it would have been a lot more effective!
This is a closeup of the processed lame. It is hard to really appreciate in a photo. It has a lot of texture.
I can't wait to share more of the things we did with you in more posts!
Linda H made sure we got up and moved around to keep in shape!

I hadn't heard of this technique with lame. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Sounds like this was a great experience. I like the coloring in your lame.
How did you melt the metal from the lame?
