Inspirations

The Silk Painters of Atlanta met today at Chastain Art Center. This is one of my favorite groups and I try my darnedest to attend the meetings. Our group "Mom" Martha couldn't attend because she is in the hospital (some folks will go to no lengths to skip a meeting!), and we missed her terribly and send along our best wishes for her speedy recovery, but we managed to get through the tortures of the meeting...only kidding!

Hellene was wearing a lovely silk scarf that she had dyed, and so we asked her to take it off and explain her processes:



Isnt' it great!!!! I wish I had a full length pic of it so you could see all of the colors that she used. Well done Hellene!!

It was a treat (especially for me!) to have Julie Jennings join us today. I had met Julie just once before when she was exhibiting her beautiful works at the Flower Show in Atlanta. Here is a portion of one of the scarves that she brought along for our 'show and tell':



I showed a few of the tees that I have been dyeing plus the kimono jacket that I shared with you yesterday. I will post more pics on the Silk Painters of Atlanta blog spot tomorrow.

Atlanta's Rush hour traffic back to Midtown was already going strong at 3:00 PM when I left Chastain to head back to Midtown. C, Barker and I loaded up the car and headed north to our 'real' home.

Tonight I've had the pleasure of completing sock numero uno in pair tres of my knitting journey:

As you can plainly see, this sock has a ruffled cuff......I thought it would be "cute" and also an increase in my learning curve, but alas, I do not like it! So: that is the end of the ruffled cuff for moi! Sock numero dos in pair tres will have a traditional cuff, ergo: no ruffle!!!

Look for more about today tomorrow at the SPA blog!
