installation by Susie Ashkenas, Claire Barnhardt, and Frances Russell
spinning yarn with drop spindles and brainstorming vernissage ideas
received more roving in the mail (14 kilos)
the bag was bigger than our bodies...
the first batch of yarn spun, mordanted, and hung up to dry!
the dye bath preparation- madder root dye
our homemade teabags filled with madder to get the various hues of reds and oranges
after the yarn was dyed, the rinsing and washing period began
from there, the yarn must be "stretched"- we got creative
more creative ways to stretch yarn
the view and our yarn
what to do with two body bags full of spun and dyed yarn?
measuring out the lengths for the installation...or playing jump rope
preparing to install and balling up the yarn
reinstalling after the rain came
vernissage day!
SO AWESOME. just showed my whole family and they all think you're awesome as well.
