art to wear

arashi shibori or serti with gutta, so many techniques, so little time

i want to try everything! seems like the possibilities are endless. really liking the shibori, but still drawn to using gutta to contain the colors. would love to be able to do this all the time … but the other life stuff gets in the way. the turtles are gone already. probably do a series of under water paintings.

purple turtles

i’ve been playing with my serger and re-covered a nice little ottoman. pretty labor intensive, think i’ll stick to silk.

The Year of the Scarf? I like it …

Mermaids and more …“It’s 2008…. and scarves are the MUST HAVE accessory!” That’s the word at Suite101.com, by way of DeeBozzz, and I like the way they are thinking.

I’m doing a lot of new painting this week, and working on some new styles and designs. The one in this photo didn’t turn out the way I hoped it might … but I like the ocean motif, and may return to it.

Welcome to the now&ZEN Blog

Me and LeeLooSo I see these words:

“This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!”

and I ask myself:

“Are those my only choices?” :-)

It is really February 6, but I am editing this post from when we set up the software back in late Decemeber.
