At home eco-dye skills have defiantly improved from when I first attempted it, and each time I have a different lot of eco-dye bundles the results I achieve get better and better

The materials I have found achieve the best results are 

purple cabbage 

purple carrots 

beetroot

turmeric 

rusty nails

Flower Pounding 

Is just what it sound like- you get flowers and pound them 

Placing masking tape over the flower, hammering and carefully pulling it off- its surprising how well the colours come out! I am going to try pounding flowers onto fabric before I begin the eco-dye process.

Failure 

I attempted the eco-dying process, which I learnt in class at home, however to my disappointment it resulted in major failure and I burnt them. I think the water had all evaporated in the steaming process and thats what caused them to burn

Eco-Dye Workshop 

Through Fine Arts Gateway (Textiles Studio) I participated in a eco-dye workshop. I was able to achieve beautiful results really quite easily- using plant matter you bundle it up, steam it and then leave it for 24 hours in the sun, before unwrapping

If Im being made to draw in my textile class, do people in drawing ever get made to sew?

Inspired by Pat Steir- Gravity and Levity

I experimented with paint, the thought of gravity, the residue and the off marks as a result of it

I just do art because I’m ugly and there’s nothing else for me to do.

I've never thought of this before, that if atheists don't believe in God because they can't see him, why do they believe in other things that they cant see like Gravity

The one where Mr Heckles dies - Friends 

Phoebe - "Dont get me started on Gravity"  

Ross- "You dont believe in gravity?" 

Phoebe - "well its not so much that you know I dont believe in it, you know its just, I don't know lately I get the feeling that im not so much being pulled down as I am being pushed" 

We accept gravity as scientific fact, but I wonder why do we trust that in fact is true, people dispute on almost all matters, so I bet that not every one believes in gravity, as individuals we do not disprove it only accepting what scientists tell us as they must be telling the truth

Nikki Parmenter -

Parmenter has a unique style or working, employing a wide variety of mixed media elements to create intensely detailed, vibrant work which has strong multi - cultural and symbolic references. 

" I am intrigued by symbolism invented by different races and societies and the way in which objects, natural phenomena, birds and animals are given magical qualities or powers. "
