If you build it...

I couldn't quite find the right tabletop fixture for my scarves....so I'm making them myself! Here's my latest project!

They aren't quite finished yet. The wood portions need a couple coats of paint. They will end up being all black. I think I might actually be happy when they are done!

New website

I'm working on a new website, finally getting things switched over and working. It's still rough and probably will be for a while. It's www.sarahmerideth.com and I have some images of new work up and ready to view!

Prairie Day

Look for me at Prairie Day this next weekend in Dardenne Prairie, MO!
See more info on the event here.

I'll have a few dozen new scarves and some wall hanging as well.

silk surprise

I randomly found a bag of scrap PFD fabric. There's some rayon (I love rayon!) and a few different kinds of silk. It was like Christmas!

I also realized I ordered a different type of silk scarves this last time. I guess I will have to go ahead and order more!

on the chopping block

I'm repurposing artwork. In other works, I'm cutting it up! I've been hesitating to do this for more than a week, but it has to be done!

Scarves are getting a facelift

I'm adding new elements to my silk scarves. All will be dyed, but they will also have an added element, either marbling, discharged designs, or printed designs so far.

I have a few new ones at the gallery already, plan to have many more over the next few weeks.

Upcoming Exhibit: Transposed

trans·pose   [v. trans-pohz; n. trans-pohz]

1. to change the relative position, order, or sequence of; cause to change places; interchange

This idea encapsulates my love of fabric and it's possibilities. Not only can you add to the surface, but you can always reverse or remove color and design through different bleaching and discharging techniques. Sometimes the adding and subtracting happens in so many layered steps, I lose track of the journey. One recent piece (still not finished)

steps: dyed, dyed, discharged, dyed, discharged, varnish (not including all rinses and washes in between!

Upcoming exhibit opening Sept 9 at Framations
