Mary Janes Attic

I love the color palettes of yarn and fibers that you can find on Mary Janes Attic! The colors are fantastic and their yarn seems reasonably priced, so all of you knitters felters, and crocheters better click on over for some fiber goodness! I am dying to get back into learning the proper way to knit. It has been much too long since I have held a pair of knitting needles!

A Stitch In Dye

I have a major passion for not only color but i think textile art, especially fabric dyeing and screen printing, and hand printing is amazing. The colors and textures that can be achieved never cease to amaze and inspire me. With that said I love the color palettes of A Stitch In Dye(isn’t that name great). I have plans on starting my own shop online that will sell hand printed fabric swatches and one of a kind gifts, and this offers me so much inspiration for achieving my goal of diving back into textiles. I truly miss it from the days of S.C.A.D and it continues to call upon me to create in this medium again!

Colorful, playful, and pretty, thats what the work of Maxine Sutton is made of! I love the abstract play of Textile Artists Maxine Sutton. She uses a combinations of screen printing, hand & machine embroidery, and needle-punch felting. Her pieces are artistic translations of anatomy, nature, organic shapes of spoons, eggs, and folklore.

Tamar Mogenforff {what a doll}

Monday, May 19th, 2008

I recently ran across textile and fiber Artist Tamar Mogendorff’s pieces and was I was instantly enchanted by her work. Her light use of color and neutral tones really compliment the natural elements in which she construct her pieces to represent. My favorite are these wonderful birdhouses and the fiber bird cages are fantastic. I would love to have one of those birdhouses adorning my wall, wouldn’t you? The pine cone is fabulous. Her pieces are made from linens, wool, mohair wool, cotton, vintage fabrics, tweed, antique embroidery, and pashmina; and are embellished with antique and vintage buttons, beads, thread, and old ribbons.
