With only a month to go (or less) before the big white tents are up
and
artisans fill them with the colors and ideas of our imaginations for you to see and touch and consider,
the studios are humming. mine sure is.
I am finishing up a few requests as well as new works.
There is always a quilt that needs finishing, that final hand sewing that has been
saved for quiet time in a chair under a shady tree.
On sunny days,
I am painting up fabrics for my projects and always have some to share at the fair for those who see the possibilities in them .
here they are drying in the sun on the lawn with my toes showing.
Below,
this is second drying of the fabrics
after heat treating and washing and now shining on the line .
See how the sun is shining through on the way to sunset on the piece on far right?
i love the surprises i get when i work with these humble fabrics and paint.
