Well is it just me, or is it hard to believe that Memorial Day weekend is next weekend!?! Which means I've got to get myself together... because I've been given the opportunity to demonstrate silk painting at the Fiber Arts booth at Folklife!   I'll be demoing silk painting (and letting the public play) on Sunday from 11am to 3pm.  Please stop by and visit!  Folklife is SOOO much fun!  Fisher Green - where the Fiber Arts Flashmob will be - see the facebook page for more info There's also going to be another Fiber Arts Flashmob at some time during Folklife.  I went last year and it was great!  I had tons of people stopping to watch me paint, and I sat near the most fabulous weavers!!!  This year, my daughter and husband are coming too... because they heard me rave about the fun events.  I hope you stop by Folklife - it's free to attend with tons of free music and other fun events.

Well I did it!  I finished my first scarf.  And silly me, I decided it HAD to be a hand-painted piece... which resulted in over 50 hours of work! I am SO glad to be done! whew!!!! I do love what I made... but I think I definitely prefer working on smaller pieces - items meant to be wall-art.  My official test-piece I started off doing a test piece - which I am not sure what to do with.  It's really not what I would have done for an art piece..although it's pretty.  The beginning This is me at the Fiber 19 spring retreat.  I've begun to work on the scarf.  The scarf, back in my studio This is the scarf after probably 30 hours of work.  Each flower takes about 2 hours to complete.  Yes, that's my studio.  And no, I do NOT have a table/workspace big enough for scarfs!  A close-up of some of the flowers This is a close-up of some of the flowers.  If you look closely, you can see some of the vein-work
