Embellishing!

This looks a lot better since I added some outlining
and some dots. I found that cotton works a lot better for
this process.
 I had a  lot of trouble with the linen blouse.
I will try to salvage it, but its not going to be easy

You may never see it again. 

A work in progress

This is another fun fabric painting that still needs a lot of work.
I have used dyes, paints, stencils, and hand made stamps.
Now the fun, outlining and embellishing.
Tomorrow I will post the progress

Rain dance

This fern is the only thing that is still growing at our house. It is on the porch sitting on top of a very old milk can that we got on one of our trips to Michigan. It came out of the old family barn. We had a little rain the other day, first rain since April. I took a picture, but you really can't see much. You can see all the dead grass  though.

Red Neck Wine Glass

I took mine with me last evening for First Friday.
 Lots of wine flowing in town on the square.
Everyone loved my glass and wanted one.
 I told them where to go to get a pair; you don't want to enjoy
 wine by yourself!!
They are at Sonia's Studio, Stinger Studio, on Williams Drive.

Themis, the goddess of Justice

This is Themis, the goddess of Justice. She sits on top of the court house down on the square.
I painted this shortly after my workshop with Shiloh Sophia McCloud. The scales and the saber symbolize the tools of justice; the star is for Texas. Of course, the blindfold is so that justice prevails. I really enjoy painting this way, (block painting), and plan to do more of this.

Cooler weather

We spotted this horse in Camden, Arkansas, getting ready for cooler weather.
It has been very pleasant here in Texas the last day or two.
Still having fires though; we need rain! The Longhorns need water and grass!
I am busy today with my painted fabric samples. Probably going to rip them up and use them for something fun.

Here is a tee shirt that I painted the other evening. Actually, you get 3 for 1; the tee, the aqua blouse I dyed, and the pendant, part of my handmade jewelry collection. All part of the fun I have in my studio!

Food and Fantasy

This was my favorite costume at Food and Fantasy ! Sonia always out does herself. The food from
 Bittersweet Cakes and Catering was absolutely delicious; I had 1 of each !

 Look at these gorgeous veggie arrangements. It was a great evening.
