Indigo Dying

Today I went to an indigo dying workshop, that francis becon was demonstrating.I was really surprised at how the process works and how bad it smelt too :D I used bits of old materials, And dyed them in the dye. I also found out that the longer you leave it in the dye the more indigo it goes I really liked this process and would like to do it again.

Paper Cutting

Two weeks ago we had a tutorial on paper cutting from the artist speaker Stacey. She taught us different ways on how to cut he paper as well as on different materials. She really inspired me and I liked her work one of my favourite pieces of hers wax the paper cutting she made on trees. So I decided to make a paper cutting on the brothers grimm fairy tale brier rose I designed the castle covered in thorns I also layered it by make one cutting ontop of each other it looked really nice but it got ruins :( so today I remade it and it looks better than before.
