I don't think I've had more fun in my whole life visiting with a friend as I've had this past three days. From start to finish, each day was a delight unto itself, jam packed with artmaking, sharing books and resources, and pouring our hearts out. I feel like I'm the one who's been on vacation!
We did two shibori batches today -- Jan's first experience with shibori -- and she created some awesome fabric. In fact, I learned a few things from her! I think I'll be doing a lot more again soon with a few new ideas and techniques. The pieces below are my work from today -- a few overdyes of previously ugly fabric, and some new pieces.
These collages above are from Monday and Tuesday this week.

Absolutely Awesome!...collages, fabric and friendship.
Yep, I agree "absolutely awesome" The shibori is so tempting...hard to believe any started out life in the ugly pile.
Lovely pieces Connie! Glad you're having a wonderful time.
You need more of that, Connie, just like I do.
I agree with Diane....its hard to believe any of these started out ugly!! It sounds like you've had a wonderful time!
Those fabrics are spectacular! We all need times like that.
Yummy AND inspiring!
I just did show and tell with my 3rd host, Vicki, at her beautiful home in Lake Oswego. she was awestruck, as I am, still1 Can't believe it! Elderly cousins were impressed, too. Connie, I had so much fun I was delirious! Merci to the ultimate power!
