Japan Dream Worlds

One of the contestants on Project Runway (Jeffrey Sebelia)had a Japanese inspired collection. Follow this link to an online exhibit of Dream Worlds Modern Japanese prints and paintings from the Robert O. Muller foundation.

Especially the blue tab "the quality of light", and click on "add screen" to see the progression of color that results from layering all of those wood blocks.

When I was in Tokyo one of the museums was having a woodblock print hands-on demo, where we got to use woodblocks in a four color process. It was so cool!

That does sound cool, I've been looking at the layering wondering what it might look like if we use fabric instead of paint;)
