A New Beginning

I am someone driven to be creative, but often it seems that life's everyday activities get in the way. I have a hunch that I create more than I know. I'm hoping that by using this blog I can document what I do create, and share it with others who are similarly inclined. Let's get started!

These are scarves I dyed and silkscreened as Christmas presents. It all started as a way to make presents for my MIL and SIL, then mushroomed into making 15 scarves.

Several years ago I bought a Thermofax machine after lusting for one for years. Yes, pure, unadulterated lust. I took a screenprinting class with Jean Ray Laury about 10ish years ago at G Street Fabrics, and seeing her work made me realize that this was a machine I really wanted. The year I bought the Thermofax machine was a busy one, and I only made a few screens. Somehow these scarves inspired me to create lots more screens of my own design. I'll post a close up of the screen printing a little later.
