WIP - Another large scale stitching project. Building layers of stitching on ink dyed fabric. More to come on this project once I’m past this phase. #embroidery #fiberart

It’s Ink Day!

Inking fabric for a new project. This and a couple of other panels will be cut up for English paper piecing. I love how the ink bleeds. This is sumi ink mixed with fabric medium and water

I am so sorry to hear that. You’re in Seattle? I’m down near Tacoma. If you have a volunteer workday to help reset the studio, please let me know.

From spring ‘24 - a quick collage I especially like. I find collage to be a great means of exploring shape and color as I plan my fiber work. I gain a lot from just playing around.

What they are trying to say when they say “Do not obey in advance.” I think I have figured out what folks are trying to say when they say “do not obey in advance.” (DNOIA for the rest of this screed)

I’ve just discovered this fabric selection from Indigenous owned and operated ‘Creators Gifts: Native Fabrics and Native Arts’. They are right here in Canada and I can’t wait to use these!! Here is there link: creatorsgifts.ca

Hey folks, I’m Stephen. I’m an artist working in fiber, printmaking, and collage. Mostly I sew things. Some are useful, others not so much. Moving to Bluesky is a chance to connect with more of you and share what I’m up to.
