Featured Artist : Dean and Linda Moran
Unique Fiber Art & Hand-marbled Fine Art Fabrics
Posted: 2004-10-25

Dean and Linda Moran took an interest in a new hobby and turned it into a new passion. Linda wanted to marble fabric for quilts. After doing research, Dean created the tools they needed. With their first piece, they knew they had a vision for a new art form using traditional marbling designs. Over time and many hours of practice, they created a personal art form using traditional marbling designs, as well as contemporary variations to enhance their creative spirits.

Starting with basic white cotton, Dean and Linda soon developed a "no fabric is safe from marbling" attitude. Using silk, satin, corduroy, denim, velveteen and whatever else may cross their paths, they have broadened their artistic horizons. The fabric may dictate a theme; other times the magic of the marbling will dictate the focus of the finished piece.

Dean and Linda have expanded their work into a number of series. "Gaia" celebrates the abstract of Earth, using a weaving design. "Nature" takes a specific look at the little wonders around us, like a quiet pond or an unexpected rock garden. "Mandalas" pay tribute to the dynamic energy of the universe.

The products we use are: carrageenan, alum, synthrapol, milsoft, cotton velveteen, Pima cotton, china silk, crepe de chine, organza, silk chiffon, habotai scarves, pillow covers, golf towels, and silk ties.
