Wedding Project

A friend of mine will be getting married and i wanted to give her something to make her day even more special...

Today I am working on a customized beaded cord...i have it all set up...

I like to put the beads and components I use for a project in a recycled egg container...that way i can close it and pack up much easier when i need to clear the table...

Still deciding on the combination of beads that i will attach... 

This is the centerpiece...i'll be placing pink rhinestones on it instead...

Excited how its going to turn out....

The Colors of the Sun...My Hand painted Silk Scarf

On to my second scarf experiment. I didn't have the proper dyes or paints that is really used for silk painting because it is not available here where I live...or at least I haven't found a supplier for it. So instead I used regular fabric paint..which I think is thicker...and doesn't seem to move through the fabric like the dyes I've seen people using.

Still...I a loving how it turned out. First I thought I'd give this technique a try...where you just crumple the fabric in all sorts of directions...add paint all over and then add salt...

I let it sit for a while under the sun and then i unwrap and see what magic has happened...

Lots of textures and interesting shapes formed...although...I didn't like how the colors looked too pale....So i use the shapes to guide me where to draw in flowers....so more color is added....

The end result looks much brighter and happier...it is still hanging up drying so i will post the final results tomorrow,,,
