My small fibre art support group has planned a painting and dyeing day for the holiday on Monday. One of the ladies and I had planned to try our hands at Shibori type dyeing, and the dyeing that uses clamping ( Forgot the name, but it is a variation of Shibori).We're both also wanting to try some of the landscape painting that Mickey Lawler describes in her most recent book-"Skyquilts". So I've been gathering fabric and clamps and shapes to use with the clamps, and reading up on techniques. Imagine my surprise when I read about a course in this type of dyeing being offered locally! And with a dyer I have taken courses from before, and respect.
So, of course, I had to sign up immediately. Luckily, I received a cheque today for some items I had sold, it just about covers the cost of the course. However, I spent several hours trying to get my deposit in before the deadline. This involved two trips to the bank , a road trip, and over 1/2 hour on the phone with PayPal trying to find out why they had frozen my account. But, I'm registered, and already getting excited.
I have just about finished two pieces for the sale in July. Should be able to get pictures up tomorrow, or Sunday. The rest of the weekend will be taken up with packing a fair chunk of my studio to take with me for the dyeing day--even if it is a little redundant now.
