Preparing...

 I have been quiet for a few days..I am preparing...for future workshops...I'll be painting Roses with Christie Repasy, I'm taking lots of pictures of roses, I want to learn to paint my own...its not easy finding a perfect rose
 I study her paintings, then I grab my camera, hop on my bike and search for the perfect rose
Then I'm taking a delightful workshop from Nellie Wortman over at Artful Gathering, Her classes are wonderful, a great teacher, she shares so much information, she uses Silk Sari Ribbon in some of her work...I love the look of the Silk Sari Ribbon!
I purchased some silk blouses at the thrift store...some were very vibrant. After tearing them into strips, I soaked them in color remover, then dunked them in a coffee bath...I love how they all look different
I know its not quite the same, but I like to make do.
