Silk Painting


















Here is a little mermaid that I drew yesterday and painted with twinkling H2o' she was lots of fun to do.














I got this baby at the fiber fair, its like a Mary Poppins bag. She is made of woven fabric and has feet too, I love it.
















I took a class on silk painting and really loved it. I tried photographing the scarf I made but it never looked good so here at least is a picture of the butterfly that was in the center. I had dragonfly's at either end and the butterfly in the middle with swirls of purple color between them.

















Then I tried this drawing of faces and I made a lot of mistakes so some of them look a lot like aliens but it still was a lot of fun. The color is more intense than it looks here. I really want to do more of these.
