Printing on fabric treated with cyanotype chemicals has always fascinated me - I've dabbled in it a bit, but never really explored it more than that. With all the plant life returning, I'm getting several ideas using cyanotype printing - hopefully I'll have something to show you in a week or two! So what is it? Cyanotype is coating a surface with certain chemicals that when exposed to light make a blue-tinted photographic image. It's been around a long, long time .... British scientist Sir John Herschel invented the process in 1842 and it was one of the main photographic processes used until the early 1900's when black and white photographic prints became more popular. British artist Anna Atkins was one of the early users of cyanotype, creating this piece between 1851 and 1854. You can paint the cyanotype chemicals on a wide range of objects - paper and fabric are mainly used. I'm especially interested in using the process with fabric! I've shown this piece of Lotta Helleberg's before, cyanotype fabric pieces put together into a quilt. This is something along the line of what I'm thinking of working on - I just need to do a little more research into how this type of piece could be laundered. Entanglement, cyanotype appliqued onto linen and hand stitched, 2016. detail of the above work See more of Lotta's work here. Lynette Miller is an artist who works in several mediums, cyanotype being one. I love the way light works in this print of hers made with old bottles: And these are fun gift tags: See more of her work on her blog here. Arizona artist Annie Lopez uses the cyanotype prints she makes to create clothing sewn from vintage patterns. You can see more of her work and read about her in this article from Images Arizona here and the Phoenix New Times here. Happy Creating! Deborah

Susanne von Textile Geschichten sammelt heute Stoffspielereien zum Thema „seltene Techniken". Das Thema gibt viel Spielraum, bereits 2015 gab es dazu eine Linksammlung. Mein Beitrag zu diesem Thema kam zustande, ohne dass ich darüber nachgedacht habe. In den Osterferien durfte ich einen Upcycling-Workshop mit Kindern betreuen. Am Ende gab es reichlich Stoffreste. Zeitgleich hatte ich ein paar Nachfragen nach Chenille-Box-Mäppchen. So war es naheliegend, die Stoffreste zu stapeln und altbewährt zu Flächen für Stifte-Mappen zu vernähen: Beginnend auf einer Bügelmarkierung diagonal; parallel mit Nähfußabstand von 0,75 cm. Es hat sich bewährt, die untere Lage größer zu halten, dann ist das Anschneiden der Lagen leichter. Auf der untersten Lage drehe ich gleich mit ein paar Stichen, ist besser als Abschneiden. Versehentlich habe ich vereinzelt am Cutter eine Seite mit zu schmalem Führungselement erwischt und meine Schnitte sind mitunter sehr dicht an der Naht. Für einen Nahtabstand von 0,75 cm ist die Einstellung M am Chenille-Schneider zweckmäßig. Durch mein Missgeschick hatte ich das Bedürfnis, die Raupen zusätzlich zu fixieren und erinnerte mich an Fotos von Stoffmanipulationen. Dazu lasse ich nun Fotos sprechen (eine kleine Auswahl). Beim Stapeln der Lagen habe ich mir kaum Gedanken gemacht, wie sich dieser Zufall später auswirkt. Besonders umgehauen hat mit der Effekt mit einem lila-orangen 80er Jahre Bettwäschestoff und in einem anderen Stapel eine mint-rosa-karierte Lage, die unter der Titanic hoch kam. Auch schwarzer Denim ergab eine interessante Optik. Die Verwandlung der "Altstoffe" war faszinierend, ich konnte dann gar nicht aufhören mit Stoffe aufräumen. Wenn mein Chenille-Cutter noch scharf wäre würde ich wahrscheinlich auch jetzt gerade Chenille-Raupen schneiden, aber meiner Ersatzmesser ist noch nicht eingetroffen. Dem Fixieren der Chenille-Raupen vor dem Nähfuß habe ich zunächst mit einer Häkelnadel nachgeholfen, später mit einer Stricknadel: mit der Nadel von der Seite zwischen die Raupen gleiten, drehen und vor der Näh-Nadel positionieren. Die Fläche mit Umrandung habe ich später mit einem Dreifach-Zierstich zusätzlich über die Umbiege-Nähte gefestigt, die vielen Lagen brauchen Halt. Die monatliche Stoffspielerei ist eine Aktion für textile Experimente. Sie ist offen für alle, die mit Stoff und Fäden etwas Neues probieren möchten. Der Termin soll Ansporn sein, das monatlich vorgegebene Thema soll inspirieren. Jeden letzten Sonntag im Monat werden die Links mit den neuen Werken zwecks Erfahrungsaustausch gesammelt. Die weiteren Termine der Stoffspielerei: 28.05.2017: Denim (Griselda – Machwerk) 25.06.2017: Thema noch offen (Lucy – Nahtzugabe) Juli/August 2017: Sommerpause 27.10.2017: „Fäden auf Farbe“ (Ute - 123-Nadelei)
