Cyber Fyber news
My second round Exquisite Corpse Textiles Project piece made it home in time to be mounted and sent off again to the Cyber Fyber show in Columbia, South Carolina. The show opens tomorrow and i'm hoping a friend who will be attending, will be allowed to take photos "in situ".

Round Robin Proposal
I'd like to try an excercise called the Exquisite Corpse, but in
textiles and textile techniques. And no the subject is not as gruesome
or squishy as it sounds :}
I have more details on my blog

- Hello Arlee, the peice "Backless Dress" was created from handmade Gampi paper on Tarleton fabric. The gampi (bark from a shrub often used in Japanese printmaking paper) was soaked, cooked and then ground in a Hollander with annato seed for color. The pulp was then pulled on screens an placed on the Tarleton (a starched cheese cloth like fabric used in printmaking). The wet paper cloth was then draped on a mannequin and left to dry. This was done twice and then stitch together.
