Persistence is the key

The cool thing about pursuing a practice over a long period of time is that there is always potential for an unexpected breakthrough. I've been dyeing wood for almost 18 years, now. Within that span of time, I've made some adjustments and had some discoveries with my process that have garnered improved results, here and there. But a few weeks ago, I developed a new technique for applying dye to wood that has opened up the world of color gradation to me. And I am stoked!

Ursula, dyed and undyed maple and birch plywoods, hand dyed
handwoven cotton fabric, nails, 30" x 35.5" x 2," $2000.
It all started with the need for a closet in my weaving studio. The unfinished wood on the outsides of the new closet doors provided the perfect opportunity to try dyeing a much larger expanse of wood than is typical for me. And what the heck, why not give color gradation a try? The results, shown in the top photo, were as good as I could have hoped. Then I applied my new technique to a wall piece, Ursula, shown above and as a detail shot, below. 
I'm so excited to see how far this technique can be pushed in future projects! And all this excitement has come to me through the power of persistence. I love having a new technique in my repertoire after practicing for so many years.
