Steaming dye painted silk in my stovetop version of the typical rice cooker setup. My rice cooker isn’t wide enough to accommodate this larger diameter cylinder. But, with a few inventive improvisations my discharge pot doubles as a steamer base. #inthestudio #wearableart #workinprogress #russlittlefiberartist @artclothnetwork
Stacking fabric on the print table is a great way to capture serendipitous marks AND minimize cleanup. The bottom fabric in the stack collects dye that bleeds through from the top fabric. You never know what you’re going to get, but it’s usually good. #inthestudio #wearableart #workinprogress #russlittlefiberartist @artclothnetwork
Second layer printed with bubble wrap. Found objects sometimes make the best tools. #inthestudio #wearableart #workinprogress #russlittlefiberartist @artclothnetwork
Layer one on 2 yards of silk charmeuse. #inthestudio #wearableart #workinprogress @artclothnetwork #russlittlefiberartist
Colorful morning clothesline. These are done except for the edge finishing and labeling. #inthestudio #wearableart #russlittlefiberartist @artclothnetwork
Spent time this week creating some new photo silkscreens. Today I’ll be getting them ready for printing and mixing up dye in preparation for a couple of busy printing days. #inthestudio #russlittlefiberartist @artclothnetwork
It’s a blustery clothesline day. Scarves with base layers of color getting ready for screen printing. #inthestudio #wearableart #workinprogress #russlittlefiberartist @artclothnetwork
Getting some luscious, complex results from layered wax, dye paint, and low water immersion. #inthestudio #workinprogress #wearableart #russlittlefiberartist
Last of the batch of 5 new pieces fresh off the sewing table. Now to make, attach, and hand stitch the facings for all of them. That’s something like 50 feet in total! #workinprogress #russlittlefiberartist #artquilt
...and another just-quilted piece. One more to go in this quilting blitz. 5 in all. #russlittlefiberartist #workinprogress #artquilt
Another piece just off the sewing table, complete with dangling threads. #workinprogress #russlittlefiberartist #artquilt
Starting on the quilting for the next piece. In case you’re wondering, I’m working on 5 new pieces at the same time. Sometimes that’s just the way it happens. #russlittlefiberartist #artquilt #workinprogess
Another new piece right off the sewing table. #workinprogress #russlittlefiberartist #artquilt
Freshly quilted. Still some hand work to do, plus the facing, but it’s new work! #russlittlefiberartist #workinprogress #artquilt
Day 2 at the Southern Comforters Quilt Guild Show. Yesterday was good, but there’s still a great selection of wearable art scarves on the rack. More info on my website. http://russlittlefiberartist.com/blog/2018/3/8/vending-at-southern-comforters #wearableart #russlittlefiberartist #artclothnetwork

Working out pairings of hand dyed rayon and wool suiting for 2-sides scarves. #russlittlefiberartist #artclothnetwork #inthestudio #wearableart
New mark. First layer. #russlittlefiberartist #artclothnetwork #wearableart #workinprogress
New day; new patters happening on the print table. #russlittlefiberartist #artclothnetwork #wearableart #workinprogress
Later in the day, more color. #russlittlefiberartist  #artclothnetwork #wearableart
