I've been grabbing moments in my studio to finish up this piece. I thought it might need a touch of red somewhere and decided a circle shape would fit with some of the other circles.
I also decided to add just a thin line of couching thread along the side, it's very subtle.
I tried the circle on the other side but it still doesn't feel right.
My son suggested a small, random splash of red rather than a specific shape, think I like it better.
I added a top piece in white with a little Shibori on it and bound the edges in a navy-ish color, so it's done. I really liked working with these colors and hope to do more.
I really like the colors and you've put together some interesting images. That touch of red is intriguing--perfect.
ReplyDeletebest, nadia
I found your blog through Nina Marie's site and spotted the indigo right away. I work in indigo and I'm so glad to see your work.
ReplyDeleteLove the addition of the red.....glad you found Nina Marie's blog....
ReplyDeleteThese are stunning. I plan on an indigo vat when it is warm enough to work outside.
ReplyDeleteI love the touches of red. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteI love the indigos yet I have never worked with them! Go figure.
ReplyDeleteYour son was right, the circle was too "perfect" for the rest of the piece. I do like the added red, and you picked the perfect tone of red as well.
I like the slash of red.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting project. I like the splash of as well.

ReplyDeleteThanks....I appreciate the input....having my own Indigo pot is high on my list of things to try...I was lucky to have taken a workshop with access to one a while back.
Deletethanks for sharing your design process ! When I saw the red circle I thought - hm, very dominating. I like what you came up with afterwards. That little splash of red is just perfect !
ReplyDeleteI like things with an element of the unexpected. Something that just doesn't seem to go together, that really works. I have not tried the Indigo process, but did recognize them in your piece. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove the splash of red on this piece!
ReplyDeleteohhh I love this! I think the red is going to look great - plus I like how how you mixed traditional and non traditional!
