Continuing and Combining Old with New

This piece is continued from here.

Work in Progress - state 5 ©Ayn Hanna

Combining my layered techniques now also with something new for me – hand stitching.  As this piece is evolving, it’s becoming an important part of my story, a combination and convergence of many things, with ties back to multiple works across multiple series.  And, with paths toward the new as yet unknown textile territories.

Also, I’m sharing a photo of one of my newly eco-dyed pieces of cloth below, because I’m going to start working with this to create a new piece and I wanted to capture the creative progress from the very start this time:

Cotton, dyed with juniper and iron.

Right now I have no plan in mind for what this will become.  I’m just going to let the cloth start leading me toward what it wants to become, and know my heart will get engaged as the vision begins to take shape.
