    Beautiful work! I had never heard of "melted fabrics." What a great way to recycle fabrics and save them from the landfill.

    Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! You are an amazing textile artist and what a treat to walk through your gallery of designs. I guess Squidoo must think so too because my security word says it well, "remarkable".

    Very intresting information you have exposed me to. "Textile Artists" is new to me.
    Did some research and found this site: http://www.surrealartists.org/ Ever been there?
    You might like it. Another one is http://www.textileartists.org/ Very fascinating. I could spend all day looking.
    From what you have shown us in the lens, you have an incredible talent!

    Really great lens. I have studied textile too, but that was about 45 years ago. Beautiful study, but at that time still very technical. Short after I finished, they changed everything, letting people more free in their expression. Love your style.
  • MeltedRachel Feb 12, 2011 @ 1:25 pm | delete
    Thanks so much :D If it was technical I think I would have found it hard to get into.

    What a great trip I have this morning visiting some of your many lenses and learning about you and your world of melted fabrics. I had no idea what one could do with just a pile of fabric scraps and some tools. Your artwork and your lenses about it are truly awesome.
    A thank you also for leaving comments on my pro vs. anti aging lens. I appreciated it not just for the comments but for introducing me to you and your beautiful lenses.
