UL CAO Holiday Sale

University of Louisville's Student Sale

December 2nd and 3rd

Postcards were sent out...

Video Advertisements were made...

And they even made the news...

WHAS 11

I will not be selling anything in the sale due to the conflict in time with the Holiday Fibers Sale at Sweet Home Spun (as well as my procrastination). There will be a lot of great student work there. Including Patrick Rademaker and Kendall Herdelin.

Weaving Progress

 *using some old inconsistent handspun as the weft!

 check out that role of finished material...

Marble Paper

We diluted some generic acrylic paint 1 part paint and 3 parts water. Drops of this mix will suspend in a vat of carrageenan. You can then create a pattern on the surface of the carrageenan. Each droplet spreads out into the 'cell' like structures pictured below. You can then use combs or bamboo reeds to create a 'marble' structure. Once you have the colors and pattern that you desire, you press the paper on the carrageenan. This prints onto the paper, as pictued below.
