I finished this custom jacket a couple of weeks ago. The fabric is rayon. It was dyed and over dyed a couple of times using Procion MX Fiber Reactive Dyes. Then I added all the tree imagery using textile paints.
Stencil material - Grafix Clear .005 Dura-Lar Film, 9-Inch by 12-Inch, 25 Sheets
I used Jacquard Dye-na-flow (which is the consistency of dyes) from small spray bottles as well as Jacquard Textile paint and Profab textile paint from Pro Chemical and Dye Co.
The imagery was created by using my own stencils, masks and a hand carved stamp. They are shown below.
I love how this came out so much that I do believe I am going to have to make one for myself as well. It may be just the jacket I should be wearing when I give the Key Note speech at the Michigan League of Handweavers Fiber Conference in June. What do you think?
