Fire’n Rain
July 20, 2009
Using the theme of Fire and Rain, this vessel is executed with hand dyed merino wool. I like the hand of this vessel as it s pliable, soft and yet it holds it;s shape. I have yet to acquire a proper camera that replicates in a consistent digital image so the vessel looks asymmetrical. Then, again this felt is a bit softer than the other vessels. The fire colors are hand dyed with the aid of a microwave using acid dyes. Protein fibers requires heat and an acid to keep the dyes within the cell membrane of the fibers.
