in dye december 10 2016 knit and tink my knitting skills aren t great but they are improving it appears that i have a lot of patience because i just keep knitting no matter how much tinking i have to do i m using a gorgeous yarn from shalimar for this wrap it s a merino cashmere silk blend and it s very soft and warm i love the way it looks but it s taking a long time and i m getting a bit tired of doing the same thing my knitty friend said she always has a few projects going so she could choose what she felt like working on great idea it s the way i create artwork so why not knitting i jumped on that bandwagon and off i went this cowl is a made from capra dk from knit picks it s a beautiful marino and cashmere blend it s pretty chilly during my husband s morning bike ride to work this cowl will keep him nice and warm and it ll be easy to store in his bike pack years ago i collected novelty yarns to use as embellishments in my art quilts that phase didn t last long and i barely used the yarn collection my knitty friend suggested cutting it up and tying it back together to form new art yarn wow that sounded like an interesting idea i sorted through my bin for yarns that i thought might work together and chose fifteen different yarns i cut and tied knitted a sample deleted several eyelash yarns and knitted another sample after a few versions i think i have a good assortment that will make beautiful art yarn the balls are beautiful i need tie enough yarn for a shawl here s a wonderful della q circular needle case from etsy i love the numbers on the needle slots and it has plenty of space for cables it also has a zippered pouch on the outside for markers scissors etc posted by judy rys at 12 10 2016 10 50 00 am no comments labels art yarn knit picks knitted cowl knitted wrap knitting needle case shalimar november 14 2016 what are you passionate about we recently remodeled our kitchen and dining room some people think that sounds like fun but in reality it was a lot of stress and work i wanted everything but had to stay within a budget and the two are often at odds i have to say that we really did a great job we came in under budget gasp and the kitchen is both beautiful and functional while the remodel was happening my whole life revolved around it there was a lot of creativity involved but it was a very different type of creativity when the remodel was done i didn t know what to do with myself i had a hard time getting back into my normal creative activities i was experiencing a major creative block i tried not to worry about it too much i started dyeing and screen printing fabric yards and yards of beautiful fabric it worked one thing led to another and the creative block is a distant memory fiber art photography and dyeing are all at the top of my list of passions between the three my creative needs are usually satisfied i don t think my inquisitive nature will allow me to stop experimenting with other mediums though people that know me well expect a lot of questions i ve actually tried to stop being so inquisitive but it didn t work haha i guess i need to add knowledge to my list of passions if you find yourself in a creative slump figure out what you are passionate about and start doing it the rest will come if you would like to see some of my new work i ll be part of a juried exhibit at the elverhoj museum in solvang ca the opening reception is november 19 th from 4 00 to 6 00 pm the exhibit will be on display until february 5 2017 several people have been inquiring about my blog it made me realize that i missed it and want to give it another go so ask any questions you want i understand posted by judy rys at 11 14 2016 06 20 00 pm 1 comment labels elverhoj museum fabric dyeing passions october 27 2014 quilted texture texture is a big part of why i quilt and i spend a lot of time probably too much time considering how to quilt each piece as i was quilting this piece it just really struck me how different the stitching made it look i had to stop and take photos and want to share them with you i have known this for a long time but to look at the before and after really proves it i like the texture that the purple circle add to the background the swirling inside the ovals make them recede and add interest i feel like i m a pretty good quilter but there is always room for improvement sandwiched between a trip to las vegas and spain i took a 5 day hq quilting class at the creation station with pam clarke and megan best it covered a variety of skills ranging from traditional patterns to overall designs many of which i never would have tried on my own the scale of most designs were larger than what i was used to needless to say i was definitely pushed out of my comfort zone it was a good experience and a good confidence builder posted by judy rys at 10 27 2014 01 45 00 pm 1 comment labels creation station megan best pam clarke quilting texture october 6 2014 final quilting decision i m about to quilt the final section of the sky and i m trying to decide what color of thread to use yesterday i thought i was going to use ice blue thread but today it isn t even a contender between the three colors shown iris darker purple blue and amethyst lighter purple i m leaning towards the iris i think i d like to darken up this area a bit and the purple would do that and add a little warmth which one do you like best i can t show you the whole quilt yet because it s going into an exhibit soon but i bet you can guess what it is here s a close up of some of the quilting on my hand dyed fabric hope you can see it the thread color blends pretty well i ve been using my homemade pinmoor holders a lot and i absolutely love them they stay in pretty well even through all the shifting rolling and scrunching that you do while quilting but they re easy to remove when you pull on the foam i purchased extra pins and have about 120 now posted by judy rys at 10 06 2014 10 45 00 am no comments labels pinmoor knockoff quilting thread selection october 1 2014 fantastic summer so many wonderful things have happened in such a short time it seems like i ve been running from one thing to another with little time in between now that i ve had a little time to catch up i ll work backwards through some of my summer adventures the most exciting part was a trip to morocco and spain the whole trip began because my husband had to go to marrakech for business so we decided to make a vacation out of it we spent a week in marrakech at the palmeraie palace and then went to spain for two weeks it was a fantastic vacation much better than i ever imagined the palmeraie was a beautiful resort on the outskirts of marrakech they had everything you could want great restaurants spa pool shopping and golf they took credit cards the food was safe and delicious and they gave us bottled drinking water remember this is africa and we had to get typhoid shots back of the palmeraie palace and lake palmeraie palace has the largest golf course in africa ornamental cutouts in the hallways great tile work in lobby beautiful pool and lush tropical setting as beautiful as the resort was it wasn t the reason i was there it was time to discover the real marrakech i hopped in the hotel van that dropped guests at the medina in the old city wow now this is different what an odd mix of ancient customs and modern conveniences donkeys horses cars pedestrians camels bicycles and motorcycles all share the road odd couple the old city is where you want to go for people watching and shopping haggling in the souks if you don t haggle you will end up paying way too much for everything the souks marketplace isn t for the faint of heart however it s an experience than shouldn t be missed be prepared to get lost and be prepared to pay a guide to lead you out of the miles of maze like tunnels at one point during a haggling session for a camel backpack the berber salesman stopped and asked me if i was part berber apparently that was a compliment because i ended up getting the backpack for the price i wanted the medina is quiet during the day but the snake charmers come out at night one of the tributaries leading into the souk storefront in the souk olive stall dyer s souk red dye day natural dyes pigeon poop is used as a discharge agent door in the souk changes are happening quickly and you can almost feel the growing pains we discussed the construction of the new city with a local he said that it didn t exist until 2000 and now they have high rise apartments and shopping centers the cost of living has risen considerably and he was having a hard time making ends meet needless to say he didn t like the changes but that s the way most people feel about change everywhere my opinion they could use some traffic lights and rules their controlled chaos way of driving leaves a lot to be desired posted by judy rys at 10 01 2014 01 06 00 pm no comments labels marrakech palmeraie palace souk june 11 2014 gelatin plate printing the results this shows most of the pieces i printed on my first day with my permanent gelatin plate none of these pieces were plain white fabric when i started all of them had some sort of surface design and i didn t like the way any of them looked the gelatin printing has improved all of them the blue trees and frame used to be beige and the mottled green was a solid bright apple green it used to be really ugly now it looks kinda aged i ripped three sections of this fabric apart to print it on the gelatin plate it has had everything you can imagine done to it it was rusted stamped printed rubbed with oil stick screen printed painted and now printed using the gelatin plate i don t love it but i l do like the light in this piece i like this piece but i think it needs more the bottom layer is dyed but it isn t very interesting the gelatin print helped it tremendously but it needs at least one more layer and more color i love this one the bottom fabric was painted with setacolor i love this one too the bottom fabric was painted with setacolor i ve tried a few different types of textile paints and so far i like thin transparent paint best please leave comments and let me know what has worked for you we learn from each other posted by judy rys at 6 11 2014 10 17 00 am 1 comment labels gelatin plate printing permanent gelatin plate june 8 2014 permanent gelatin printing plate i ve used gelatin plates for printing in the past but i haven t had a lot of luck with them it seems like they get warm really fast and needed to be refrigerated often i didn t even get the process fully figured out before the plate fell apart i read about somebody sorry can t remember who that used glycerin as a preservative in a gelatin plate and it worked well the printing plate did not need refrigeration and it did not mold i saved the information just in case fast forward gelli plates became popular and i became tempted to buy a large one but then i remembered that i had a recipe for a permanent gelatin plate and i decide to give it a try i ordered the glycerin from amazon and searched for the perfect cookie pan once the glycerin arrived it was really fast and easy to make small gelatin plate recipe 2 tbs gelatin 1 2 cup glycerin 1 2 cup boiling water large gelatin plate recipe 12 tbs gelatin 3 cups glycerin 3 cups boiling water 1 mix the gelatin into the glycerin 2 add the boiling water stir until dissolved 3 pour into the pan and level 4 let harden at room temperature gelatin from grocery store and vegetable glycerin from amazon small plate use a shallow container once gelatin is set flip it over and remove the gelatin keep it stored upside down on the lid so it can be used easily large plate use the large recipe or calculate how much gelatin your container needs to fill to the brim i leave the gelatin in the pan even while printing make a cover for the pan to protect the gelatin if the plate gets damaged cut it up and put it in a microwavable container melt it then pour it back into the pan 10 x 15 shallow cookie pan filled to brim with gelatin do not clean up in your sink or you will clog your pipes wipe up the gelatin with paper towels and throw away rinse with hot water outside i ve tested my plate already and it works great i ll post photos in a couple of days posted by
