Here is my entry for the Art for Hunger exhibition in Augusta, November 1-19. All pieces are for sale for $50. Size limit was 5 inch squares so the hand dyed black cotton is 5x5. It has organza circles machine appliqued and hand embroidered "rice." It is sewn to a mat of high rag content paper and is hung on two chop sticks.
I love that it's so simple yet so effective--great job. Did you dye the black yourself? If so, what Procion MX black did you use? I tried to dye some Jet Black over the weekend & everything turned out blue or grey, even though I doubled the amount of dye powder.
ReplyDeleteIngenious, and so poignant! I have really enjoyed following your blog!

This sounds like a very worthwhile project and you have created a lovely fragile reminder to visually convey the need to reach out to feed the hungry. Imagine and Live in Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
