The first image, of the koi in the blue background, was my first attempt. Normally I do not dye my own fabrics, but this project was an exception. However, in this case, I think the water is a bit much so I dyed only the fish on the second try.

Chinese Watercolor in Fabric
My latest project for class was an attempt to emulate the style of Chinese Watercolorists using fabric. It ended up being a bit more difficult than I had anticipated, but I feel on the whole I was at least partially successful.

Waken the Giants (revised)
Here is an updated version of the "Waken the Giants" image I posted a while back. I changed the color of a few of the pieces of fabric on the cub and added a layer of tulle (netting) to the tree to separate it a bit more from the lion.

Kestrel Picture
This is a new picture I finished a week or so ago for Illustration class. It was by far the hardest picture I have attempted to create out of fabric. It contains well over 750 pieces, and stretches 41"x18". This particular image is extra-special to me because the bird is actually my namesake.
