Aged Psychedelic #10 continues my exploration of using the geared drawing tool, Wild Gears, for creating my hand stitched designs directly onto the artwork. The airbrush paint colorations highlight orange, yellow, red, and a bit of blue. Up close inspection reveals delicate changes in color in the marbled ground. The hand stitched design includes radiating lines from the center design outward and contains a secondary mesh design.

The Aged Psychedelic series is the starting point of my exploration of transferring the marbling process to textiles. This series of ten pieces uses airbrush paint as the dye to create the marbled surface design. I have found that the heaviness of the airbrush paint changes the hand of the textile ground and makes my signature dense hand stitching more difficult to achieve.

This piece is designed to be displayed in a horizontal orientation. These experimental pieces are smaller and will be spectacular paired up with several of the other pieces for a collage-type display.
