Bast: Cat Goddess
$550
Silk twill, rayon thread, glass beads, batting
Batik, hand applied dyes, quilted, beaded and stitched by hand
Inspired by the myriad of craftswomen from around the world whose daily practice and sale of their work enables them to improve their lives, my current work speaks to my admiration of these incredible artists and my own dedication to the mastery of my craft. Using my own version of Contemporary Batik, I apply hot wax with the traditional tjanting tool to outline my designs. Brilliant dyes are applied to create subtle blends and gradations. With vibrant color and evocative imagery, I offer an intimate invitation to view my world of magical motifs.
