Orange Tire Tread Canvas

Over the past few days I've been painting up a storm, trying to prepare a pile of different fabrics to sew into functional products.  Learning to sew scares the crap out of me, so I need some truly awesome fabric to motivate me.  My most recent project is canvas supply pouches/clutches.  Here's what I've come up with:


This puppy has everything I love in a design.  Bright colors, lots of contrast, a grungy look... it makes me happy.



I'm not sure I can bear to cut it up!

Also in the works is a "geek chic" bamboo rayon scarf featuring binary.  I don't have a proper stretcher frame, so I have to use an embroidery hoop to hold the fabric taut when I apply the resist.  That means I can only do one binary word a day, because that's all that will fit in the hoop and the gutta takes hours to dry properly.  I sure hope it's worth it.

What art have you been working on lately?
