Color computer manipulation of Shibori Owl. Ink jet print.

 

I made 14 different colorways of the shibori owl to represent my many different art "moods." I work in many areas of fiber art and have regular shifts in what area is "calling" me. These colors represent my moods in an emotional way. I don't have an exact name for each owl yet, but the range includes feelings such as: light, excitement, driven, deep focus, being pulled simultaneously to many areas, unexpected happiness, meditation, etc., all in relation to the types of work (sewing, dyeing, spinning, knitting, weaving, papermaking, shibori, printing, etc). Here is a close-up of each owl.

Viewing artists' books from special collections

Book artist and papermaker Mandy Brannan helped participants to discover the creative possibilities of combining two papermaking techniques; traditional style Japanese papermaking and recycled papermaking. The masterclass began with hand-beating kozo fibres, which add both strength and delicacy to the work. The following stage was working with recycled pulps with found papers, finally creating experimental paper sheets by combining both kozo fibres and recycled pulp.
