Studio Snapshots!

I got a new Canon G11 for my birthday and I spent a sunny afternoon recently learning how to use it by taking some shots in my studio.

New Scarves in Process

The first photo shows the scarves after the resist has been applied. The scarves were steamed for 2 hours to set the dye i nthe resist and to activate the resists holding properties.
In the photo below 3 freshly dyed scarves are hanging on the line in my studio waiting to go through the second steaming in the stainless steel silk steamer.

Below is a photo of the Ravens/Crows under a full moon scarf still stretched in the rack drying

My work is in 2 more Etsy Showcases

My silkpaintings were chosen for 2 seperate Treasury Showcases on Etsy today.
The first one is called "All Christmas Trees": http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=98868

and the second showcase my work was chosen for today is called "Home for the Holidays" : http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=98771

I am not sure how long the showcases last but I hope you enjoy them while they are still active.

I just finished applying thick resist to both a "Blackbirds Singing" scarf and a "Poppy's" scarf back to back. Both these designs have a lot of resist work and my hands get really sore afterwards so I put ice on them. Guess I am getting old ;~)
