Sketchbook pages:-
Collections of fabrics, threads and other items (some painted) from my stash – to use in the module
Silk fabrics – dyed using mainly easi-fix acid dyes in the microwave:-
Cotton fabrics dyed with Procion dyes using random dyeing in cat litter trays and polythene bags and dip – dyeing:-
Monoprinted fabrics:-
A couple of designs from “Scribbler too”:-
Increasing fuzziness and curviness

Sample 1
Blue acrylic on orange paper
Sample 2
On blue patterned paper (from 2a) with paper resists with metallic gold paint
Sample 3
