Journey

 

This piece is a costume idea of a long and continous journey through the natural world. The "skirt" is a fabric remnant that had its own little journey; I originally used the fabric to make a bedskirt for my daughter, then shipped the left over fabric to my sister.  Several years later, ( and I mean several!) she gave it back.  Several dips in various dye baths including, red alder, madder, and black walnut, changed its color from an unnatural bleached white to its current pleasant earth tone. The flower pattern is a silk screened print of a flower drawing from my sketch book, using black walnut dye.
The tank top is felted wool/silk yarn.
