My monthly 12 x 12 x 12 series is my time
to play and try something new, or to investigate an idea or technique further
that I may want to do in a series.
This month, for my October piece, I tried
doing sun prints with Inkodyes, a product that I used in the late 1970's, which
have recently have had a rebirth thanks to the Lumi Company.
One recent sunny day, I painted the
orange dye on a piece of fabric that I had already monoprinted a small gridded
construction fence with black fabric paint. I placed a different patterned piece of
construction fence on the fabric, and let the sun dye the bigger grid. After the
Inkodye did it's work, I stitched the patterns of both fences on the fabric, and then mounted
it on a 12"
x 12" x 1" board.
