Dying Facric

I love to dye my own fabric. I have done some batik dying, but then I found the artist Vikki Pignatelli. Inspired by her work and metode of sewing I started to dye Procion MX colors. Here you can se the first tree colors and a mix of them on one piece of fabric.

Kirsten Klein

Yesterday I visited an art exebition on Silkeborg Bad. I saw some amacing photos from a woman called Kirsten Klein. The photografer has really the sence for the motifes and I felt that her sensations was all over the picture room. I decided to buy an other camera - not to make pictures like hers, but to be able to watch the world this way and in black and white.
