I’ve been deeply buried under a mountain of research for the revision of my book on art technology of the Islamic Golden Age, but alongside deciphering manuscripts I have continued the work on the piece that was the subject of Receiving Colour, keeping an eye out for dye sources even as winter deepened.
So beautiful! Love that the crocus and daffodil dyes gave such a rich and luscious depth of colour. The daffodil is really eye popping.
Always so satisfying to see the breadth of colour natural dyes create, and how they all complement each other so perfectly, especially when a true artist wields them. Thank you.
This is absolutely stunning. The design as well as the colours - the mirroring. Is it calligraphy or abstract? And of course I love the process too. Beautiful name - Receiving Grace. thanks for sharing.
Gorgeous, as always. I'm surprised by the crocuses. I suspect it's not terribly lightfast or durable, but it is beautiful. I also loved the old gold of the olive leaves.
"Receiving Grace" makes me want to run my hand over it. I'm wondering if there is a fragrance to it at this point. Thank you for sharing your work here.
Seriously, unbelievably beautiful inspiration here, what plants I normally admire but walk past seeing them as early Spring beauties, and I never thought of using as dyes. Thank you.
Such a lovely artwork- thank you for sharing this
