this is the bit down the side seam of the skirt, where the dress is wide enough to hang off the edge of the woodblock while printing (you can see right down to the first layers here)

dress #3, state 14 (printed january 6, 08; bodice replaced january 24, 08)
I decided to give dress #3 a makeover and replace its bodice so it would look the same as the others (ie, like an apron). I used scraps from the original fabric the dress was made of, so in this state you can see the difference between the dress when it started and the dress with thirteen layers of ink.

The previous (white) layer faded a lot in the wash, more than the other ink colours have faded. This time I printed a deep yellow, which isn't that easy to see in the photos but altered the overall tone of the dress quite a bit.

I love how the impressions of the front neckline and pockets are building up on the backs of the dresses; it's like the back of the dress contains a drawing of the front of the dress.

Back in studio, printing fabrics for new dresses. I've got to make two new ones right away to bring me up to eight, plus one to replace the one that I'm retiring this week (dress #1). With the sewing machine taking an extended vacation at the sewing machine hospital/spa, that's going to be tricky.

I printed the second layer on this dress in the same green colour as the first, only less transparent. I'm toying with the idea of continuing to print on this one dress in the same colour, rather than the haphazardly multicoloured approach I'm taking with the other pieces. Perhaps when it's almost filled up with green I'll switch to orange.
Yesterday I was sitting having lunch with Mouse outside a local burrito place when a young man and his parents came out from inside; the mother came over to me and said "he was telling me about your skirt!" (gesturing towards her son). Turns out the son is a student in my colleague Jessica Mills's drawing class, the class I spoke to about my work last Friday. If he was interested enough in me and my work that his mom asked me about it, I guess that means that my talk went well.
