Thread Gun - Wool Study
This textile method was unique and something I have never tried before.
This process involved a vertical fabric canvas and a thread gun with wool threaded through the large needle at the end. holding the thread gun up to the canvas and moving it slowly would create a tightly woven line. The stitching was tricky and would need more practice but this was a very satisfying study
Natural Dye Bath - Textile Study 1.
For this project we selected twelve pieces of fabric to do a Sabori stitch study. This study involved special fabric and thread to create designs by threading the fabric before dying it to reveal the patter after removing the thread. This indigo design was created by folding my sabori sticth fabric with rubber gands and securing it with popsicle sticks to create an indentation in the center of the fabric. This design turned out pretty cool, I was very happy with the color and the patter that was created.
Natural Dye Bath - Textile Study 2.
This design was created by simply folding the fabric and placing it in the logwood briefly before moving it to the chlorophyl. The green and brown pigment created a light grayish green tone that resembles a leaf pattern in the center of the fabric. I really liked this one because it looked very natural and it had a nice neutral pattern.
Natural Dye Bath - Textile Study 3.
Marigold Study- This design was created by folding and stitching a
round shape on my fabric. This also kept the pigment isolated in the center.
This one reminds me of a sun or a flower and I like how the yellow hue came out.
Sabori Stitch - Group Photo
Here is a photo I took after our first dye session.
Here you can see the variety of colors and patterns left from the natural dyes.
Wool Drawing Study:
I started this design using black and brown wool, I am creating a moon landscape and I wanted to make a dog with the brown wool
Ink Dye Study

Pigment illustration
This rose design was created by using a dropper and different natural dyes and pigments. I carefully applied the pigment to the proper areas before letting the color spread along the fabric.I mixed some of the colors to create a more dynamic visual texture.
Jane Hunter (Scottish Visual Artist)
Jane Hunter is a Scottish visual artist whose work revolves around themes of landscape, nature, and place. She combines free motion embroidery and appliqué with materials like thread and Harris Tweed to create pieces that reflect the shapes, lines, colors, and forces of Scotland's landscapes. Her practice explores the symbiotic relationship between humans and the natural world. Jane has exhibited her work across Scotland, and her pieces are held in private collections worldwide. She has also undertaken various commissions, including textile art for the Marmalade Hotel on the Isle of Skye and KPMG Edinburgh.
Here are my sketches for my personal banner, The first one features several food items around the word "eat'. this would look nice in a kitchen maybe or on a fridge or in a pantry. I also chose this design option because I love food. The second option is a landscape with tall mountains and trees that says the sky is the limit. This would be a cool inspirational banner inspired by Jane Hunters topographical detailed fabric stitching.
Club Banner - Black Student Union (BSU)
The first sketch for the Black Student Union that I created shows a fist holding the state of Florida with the words black student union across the bottom with the initials on the wrist. The second sketch focuses more on the shape of Florida containing the title of the club along with a colorful texture pattern following the outline of the state. The third option is similar to the second option but the shape of Florida will be made entirely out of block letters rather than just having an outline or border.
