Dry spell for the blog

I'm still here, but judging from this blog you'd never know it. It seems that I'm going through another writing dry spell. Work is busy, the studio is busy, and Dan and I are recently returned from a trip to Cape Cod. It was lovely; so very quiet this time of year. I've been back into the studio for about a week getting ready for an open studio today. I should find out this week if my studio residency has been renewed for next year.

I'm still anticipating surgery in August. I say anticipating because I won't know for sure until I meet the surgeon in July. If I'm being honest though, it's far more sure than not. I'm starting to feel as though I'm running up against a deadline; as if there are things that must get done before the end of July, most of which really don't need to done. It'll all be there when I'm back on my feet. Right?

So, that's just the quickest of updates. I've got pics of what's happening in the studio. Perhaps I'll post them in the next day or so. For now, here's this month's open studio announcement. I've just finished a batch of about a dozen scarves in silk habotai and crepe de chine. It's amazing to see how the two fabrics take the dye differently. I'm really starting to love the crepe.

Russ, Does the 'card' indicate a new direction in your work after, say, your week at The Barn? I love the freedom shown in the piece. Not that I didn't like the blocks, but I think I'm seeing a newer side of you.

Hey!!! Glad you're back blogging, too. I've had my own dry spell, as you know. Fingers x'd surgery is in Aug and I will see you in Oct.

Scarves - the crepe de chine is still my favorite to work with. Aren't scarves wonderful? Reminds me - I had better go print some more before I leave for the west coast later this week.

Wonderful colours. How the red is supported by the greens! A dance of hues.
