Faces (II)

This is my second attempt at this design, a tie-dye version of the Faces/Vase optical illusion.

I came closer to the look I wanted with this set. The faces are clearly visible and the vase looks nice too.

Does this look like a tricky design to you? Believe me, it *is*. Whew! But, the flags look cool and funky in motion, with the faces creating a "bouncing" effect as they move.

Dragon Tail - Poi Flags

Poi Flags are about half the
size of regular silk flags.

They are weighted with
weighted cord that’s sewn
into place.

The poi flags have attached
swivel handles and are ready
to fly.

Orbs II

Dark Nebula

Meltdown

This was an experiement with
a new dye technique. I used
acorns collected from our
driveway to create the resist
patterns. The result is a very
rich, velvety texture.

Paw One

An experiment with earth tones,
with yellow, burnt orange,
chocolate brown, and blue gray.

The blue gray area glows better
than expected; I’m going to use
this color more often!

Earthshock

Aqua Shock

Arcs

At about 45"x55", these are
50% larger than standard size.
Great for making a big impact!

These are based on the flags
from the Chicago Gay Games,
with the contrast bumped
even higher. Ferociously
bright yellows and deep rich
purples create an almost
hypnotic effect under UV.

Western Bloom

This set uses several earth
tones, inspired by the colors
of the Bear Pride flag.

Lemon Rasperry

The outer area is bright yellow,
and the inner has rich tones of
fuscia and purple.
