Silk Painting by Susan Moyer

Silk Painting The Artist's Guide to Gutta and Wax Resist Techniques

This is my favorite book on Silk Painting. Once you've read this book...you will not have any questions. The photos of her samples and step-by-step instruction are beyond belief. It makes you want to dive right in and start...but, be sure to have several days set aside because you won't want to stop to eat or sleep. Make sure you have lots of supplies and silk fabric. You'll be amazed at the excellence of your silk painting...the first time! Make a big pan of sausage, oven dried tomatoes, and pasta and tell your family where it is so you don't have to stop. Oh, put lots of cheese on the pasta.

A new photo for my bio...

Well, it's been a while since I've had a new photo for my bio. The last photo is on the back of my books...and well...it was over ten years ago. I didn't have to wear glasses, I had long curly hair, and not many wrinkles. It was time to stop hiding behind that photo and come out of denial. Whew. So I hope you're really focusing on my beautiful necklace.

Need beautiful Japanese fabrics and gifts?

Pat and Paul Maeda own Maeda Importing and they specialize in Japanese textiles, Sashiko patterns and kits, books, gifts, patterns, kimono, and MORE. You can find them at the Road to California quilt show, Paducah, Quilts Inc. shows, and Mancuso Quilt Shows. They travel all over the country and love what they do. Stop by their booth and they'll talk about fabric, food, and Japan. They have really funny stories. It's been a while since I've seen them and it was good to see them at the World Quilt Show-Florida, West Palm Beach. Next years dates have been set for November 12-14, 2010. Hope I see them before then! Mahalo.
