Thanksgiving

We meet family up in Paso Robles for a nice dinner together at the Paso Robles Inn. The next day we went over to my sons to celebrate birthdays of his two sons that are now 4-6 and have their birthdays a week a part. I made my carmel pecan rolls for our enjoyment. Then we drove up to see my other son that lives near Davenport on Swanton Ranch. We took a 2 1/2 hour hike on the ranch and looked at all sites.

This is my son with his wife and 5 and 7 year old. Notice that tye dye shirt.
There were so many inspirational things to see.

Screening

These are the pieces that I used at the workshop to try out my new screens which we made at the workshop.

This one I used setacolor paint with my screen.
This one I screened with discharge paste and then mixed discharge with setacolor and then also tried mixing extender with setacolor. These were pieces of muslin that I had dyed with procion dyes.

Suzanne Perilan

Just got back from Los Angeles for a silk screening workshop with Suzanne. She is from Santa Fe New Mexico. She taught a workshop for our wearable art group. She is showing us a silk jacket she has made.

This is the scarf that she demonstrated for us and you can see in the background some of the pieces we tried silk screening.

Cactus

I have never been one with much appreciation for cactus, but seeing these and their blooms brings a new appreciation. I am looking at some to incorporate into my yards landscape.

Working Away

This is our drive way with a huge pile of mulch. I am busy transporting it to the back yard. So you will know what I am doing when I am not putting something on the blog.

Tye Dye Shirts

I am at it again. Doing more shirts for the grandkids. They enjoy them so and I like dyeing them.

This one is lavender, moss green and sage green.
This one is amethyst, lavender and sage green.

Look at the face

Delicate indeed.

Unusual.
