Photos to Fabric - July 2013

July: A month where figs begin to ripen and textiles get made. I'm creating a body of work in a technique that is new to me. First I print my "Colors of Gujarat" photos onto fabrics, then layer, stitch and color the images. Here a couple of them, still in process, one of a fabric dyer, and another of an indigo vat. It's great to have dirty fingers! And every now and then I go onto my balcony and select a ripening fig before a neighborhood squirrel can grab it.
