You will not believe how people use our hand dyed fabrics and threads!
Here are some samples.

This piece was hand stitched by Laura Israel on cotton canvas. She says, "Waterfall III was an exploration in the use of Artfabrik threads, which I had just discovered. I wanted to explore the relationships between different thread thicknesses (#8 and #12) and colorways (degas blue, aquamarine, true blues, and ornamental grasses). The blending of the same threads in different weights and the same weights in different colors
resulted in multiple combinations, moving from darker values to lighter ones across the piece." To see more of her work visit Laura Israel

Michelle "Mookie" Pusateri of California writes,
"Artfabrik threads are a staple in my thread pallett. I have used them through the bobbin and in handwork, they are addicting!
Size 8 cotton is yyyuuuummmmyyyyyyyyy.
and less fattening than potatoe chips." |

Carrye has made excellent use of the gradations found in hand dyed fabrics in her piece My Perennial Petunias.
After experimenting with different backgrounds she tried the flowers, made in a workshop, on a background of Rainbow Rich Stripey fabric.
She says, "The perverbial lighbulb went off when I tried my flowers on your fabric, WOW did they sparkle!!"
