<\/a><\/p>\nOf course I am jumping in to the middle of the story here because I wanted to put in a picture. The tale starts when I got back from California and thought, Oh what fun! I can go to the Art Store and spend a bunch of $$$ on some fabric inks… Hmmm. Then I remembered that way<\/em> back in 2007, I did some fabric printing for an online swap. And, I was blogging then so I could go back<\/a> and read the<\/a> 2 posts about what I did- so helpful! It took me a lot of searching to find where I’d put all the various supplies. And, unfortunately I didn’t note some specific info that would have been helpful, like the proportions of fabric medium to pigment. But, onward.<\/p>\n I ironed my fabric to give myself a grid pattern to work on but I still managed to mess up the pattern. Whatever! I wish the lighter color of the flowers was more opaque but Whatever!<\/p>\n There is no point in being a perfectionist on a project like this or I’d never even try. Here is the scarf\/shawl, edges zig-zag finished and washed although obviously not ironed. You can see the back and the front.<\/p>\n This was my inspiration for the flower block- from my walk along the beach in Ventura.<\/p>\n I hope it doesn’t take me another 9 years to try it again.<\/p>\n And some other news- I will be teaching a Tiny World Pincushion class<\/a> in Cambridge, MA on May 14 and 15 at Gather Here.<\/p>\n Are you on Periscope<\/a>? I will be spending some time with Lilla Rogers<\/a> on Tuesday afternoon<\/a>– join us, it’ll be fun! I believe that Lilla saves all her casts to YouTube so hopefully I can post a link afterwards if you miss it.<\/p>\n Lastly, here is a beautiful video interview with Georgina Haynes from LAIKA<\/a> who I had the pleasure of spending some time with last summer in Portland, OR. It gives me chills and heart tugs to see the puppets come to life.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
