nuances in grey,
The try-it station presented by the local quilting guild was luscious (and very busy),
and an indigo-dyed display by Anne Fetterly was rich with a range of soft blue to midnight sky.
I was endlessly fascinated by the spinning that was going on behind me on the stage,
while at the table in front a needle felting try-me joint project by attendees was pure delight in its evolution.
The mono-printing station I occupied was busy enough that this is the only photo I have, taken just before the gates opened.
Even our local sasquatch got in on the act, getting dolled up for the occasion.

All in all, it was an immensely successful day, compliments of Carmen Ditzler and her team. Plan a road trip for the next year - you'll be so glad you did!
It looks like it was a fun and colourful event. Glad it went well.

ReplyDeleteExcellent colour abounded for sure.
Please and disappointed that you were so busy at your station that you have no time to stop and photograph all the folks who tired their hand a gel printing on fabric!
Thanks, Alice. I was hoping to have someone there to take photos but the place was just rocking - nobody had time!!! The worst of it was there were so many fabulous pieces created - I wanted photos for inspiration!
DeleteLooks like fun and filled with color!!!
ReplyDeleteBTW...these photos are artwork!!! Gorgeous!!!
Thanks, Jan - it was a great event. I forgot to mention that the sasquatch photo was one by Mel Hadikin-Joy - isn't it a beauty?!
DeleteHow fabulous! Look at all of that glorious color in such "I have to touch it" fibers!! lol Sounds like the event was a huge success Win!! So happy when you share these times- thank you my friend! xx
ReplyDeleteIt was a terrific event, Jackie; I love anything that showcases hand-crafted work, and this was a marvel of that in so many forms. I have to touch it, indeed! xo
DeleteWhat a wonderful play space it must have been! Just want to reach out and run my hands through the rainbow :)
ReplyDeleteI'm in total agreement Tracy...it was riotous with colour, and hard to keep my paint-splattered hands away from things!
