Here's a photo of the leaves I submitted for this project. My goal was to recycle a fiber material. I chose the plastic polyethylene twine used for hay bales to illustrate the point that, no matter what, plastic gets into our environment. This type of twine used to be made of sisal and hemp and would biodegrade over time. Now we have to deal with these plastic fibers for a long time-in these garish (unnatural) colors, ick. There is also a blatent use of hot glue used like raindrops (tears is more like it). So, these leaves get mixed in with all the fabulous natural fiber leaf creations-just like in the environment.
I've been updating my ArtFire.com on-line studio. It's a site similar to Etsy.com that I think will be good for Wovenpaint products. Here's the link for you to check it out. If you're an artist, it may be a good option for you as well.

I've been spending time selling stuff on eBay-but want/need to get back to my artistic creations. This is what keeps me calm and grounded...now I'll use my familiar natural fibers and yarns for my work again.
Here's a photo of a woven piece I had woven on a jacquard loom from a photo of a rice paste textile design that I created. Pixels to weaves, cool!
