Spiral Light Designs

After taking a several-month hiatus, I’m ready to get back into creating and sharing some new pieces. I’m chock full of inspirational ideas! Stay tuned.....

Haven’t been able to update lately as much as I’d hoped. Opportunities to work on my art have been a bit scarce recently between traveling and having so much to catch up on in other areas that got derailed by my health issues. Fortunately things continue to improve and I hope to be able to dedicate more time to work on some ideas I have. Stay tuned!

I’ve been dealing with some health issues lately that have kept me from doing any new work, but I’m starting to do better and will have some more stuff soon!

After a bit of experimenting, I’ve decided I prefer dyes over watered-down acrylics for coloring the wood on my projects (although I think it would be cool to eventually combine the use of dyes and acrylics for a more dynamic design). My favorite so far are Rit fabric dye and FolkArt UltraDye. The Rit colors tend to be more subdued while the Folk Art colors “pop” more, but taken together create a really nice range of colors to choose from. And of course can be combined into infinite shades, which is nice! I love how they let the woodgrain show through while maintaining their lovely color. I used a combination of the two on my blue sun spiral piece.
