Fiber Art Project

In college I majored in Graphic Design as well as Fiber Art. Fiber art is art made out of fabrics and papers. I took a lot of Fiber Art classes basically to fulfill some requirements for the Art degree in general and ended up liking it so much that in the end I got a major in it without really trying. Anyways, I still enjoy doing it as sort of a hobby.

All of my pieces are made of hand-dyed silk (I normally do my own fabric dyeing, but apparently it's a little toxic, so I haven't since getting pregnant...) and hand sewn together. (As in... I don't use a sewing machine.) They take an eternity to finish and are pretty tedious, so I only do like two per year. I have been meaning to post some for quite some time but always forget to take pictures. Until now!

Here is a piece that I just finished for my god-daughter Emily. I gave it to her for her baptism. It is on the "cutesier" side compared to what I normally do, but it certainly works with her pink and green nursery. Pardon the odd ball angles. I was trying to avoid the glare.

I'll take some more pics of other projects too. I actually made one in college that has been sitting in the basement for years. Color-wise I think it will look great in the nursery. You'll have to let me know if you think it will work when I post it.
