The Birth of an Art Batt

The Birth of an Art Batt - by Classy Squid Fiber Co. At 4x normal speed, watch the creation of a multi-layered landscape mega-batt! Art batts can be terribly difficult to photograph, because layer after layer of color and texture is held within, but only the top surface can be seen in a still picture. So, I thought I'd take you behind the scenes to see all that goes into one of these multi-faceted creations. Inspiration: Patricia McKillip's "Ombria in Shadow", the "Upside Down" of Stranger Things, the idea that another magical world runs parallel to ours, just beneath the surface. Fibers: Organic Polwarth, Falkland, BFL, Romeldale locks, ginned cotton, firestar, mulberry silk, angelina, silk noil.
