The last six weeks have flown by. Doesn't that happen more often than ever?
At the end of May, I went off to QSDS to study with Rosalie Dace in the master class. She is an excellent teacher, coach, inspiring person and delightful as well. I wanted to explore a new series about what happens when water and earth come together. I spent a couple days working on a way to create sand. Here's a bit of progress.
Then, it was time to add the ocean.
I came home with it not quite finished and it has been on the design wall since. More later on that project. In the meantime, I taught two classes of low immersion fabric dyeing. Both days ended with everyone taking home bags of wet fabric.
Tomorrow is my 50th high school reunion on a boat in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. My dear friend, Linda, is here from Oregon and will be my 'date' for the event. It should be an interesting day.
Right now, I want to get some fabric out and make something to use up some of my stash. Sometimes, it helps my creative process to do something unlike anything on the design wall, something more traditional or straightforward. Right now, there are four pieces on the wall just waiting for the next step. So, I'll take a detour with pink batiks and make a Linus blanket.
I hope you are enjoying this second day of summer. It's been perfect weather here for the past couple days - open window days with lovely breezes and sunshine.
Thanks for tuning in. Karen
