Work by my classmates--India Flint part 4

We came from all over the place--representing 9 states--converging on Craft Alliance / Grand Center in St. Loiuis for four wonderful days of Fieldwork with India Flint.  We didn't actually go far afield -- the greenery and flowers came to us, but that only gave us more time to bundle and brew, which I think we did with great success as seen below.  I've only heard from a few people so far to identify their work, but I wanted to get this post up as soon as possible.  If you recognize your samples, drop me a line and I will be glad to post your name.

Darcy Ritzau from California made this piece.  It's wool challis with some incredible eucalyptus.







Ellen Flachmann of St. Louis did this group of samplers.


Suzy Farren of Missouri removes onion skins from fabric that she eco printed.  Thanks to Theresa Goetz for supplying the photo.


These 4 samples were made by Theresa Goetz of Missouri




Carolyn Lesser of St. Louis made these samplers.



Judy Newland of Arizona did some ice flower dyeing with hollyhocks to create the lavender strips before she came to the workshop. 


These samples were already turned into a mini patchwork by the last day.  Made by Peggy Cox of Pennsylvania.





I've heard from one person that she's been bundling and brewing up eco prints every day since the workshop.  Sorry to say, I haven't been able to indulge myself yet but I do have the copper cauldron and am itching to try out some larger fabric.

If you are visiting for the first time, scroll down to see parts 1, 2 and 3 about the India Flint workshop.  I had the time of my life and learned so much.  Now I'm waiting delivery of Second Skin, India's new book hot off the presses.
