Having fun!

The whole process of having the wax pot on high and being surrounded cups of procion dye is very soothing to my soul. After two days of mixing colours and dyeing I was left with an absolute riot of colourful fabrics just asking to be cut and stitched.

My plan simply was simply to have as much fun as possible with the colour palette I had created. I had no drawings to work from, no photographs or even a clear idea of what I wanted to achieve. My head and hands simply collaborated as clashing colours were selected, cut, bonded and stitched.

I often feel that stitching can be quite a serious affair; this exercise was just about the pleasure that only fabric and thread can give.
