As a result, we have scheduled an India Flint Walkabout for Saturday, June 23, 2012. It will be led by Cyndi Kaye Meier and you are cordially invited to participate. Singing and recitation of poetry as one walks about, while recommended, are optional.

What do you do when you know what you want but don’t have it yet? It may be an object (to own a fabulous piece of art), an experience (a travel dream), a concept (to be an artist), or just knowing there is something out there that is different from what you have now and that is what you want. When is it that you know what you want, and how do you get from not having it (SDA Minnesotahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14827101880627028204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4560181963236675724.post-56017687951799433112011-02-07T18:28:00.000-06:002011-02-07T18:28:51.681-06:00Call for entry deadlines extended: SDA, TCMI've been busy, busy working on pieces to enter into the SDA Confluence and Textile Center exhibitions and have finally come up for air.

We had so much snow in December that I was inspired to try snow dyeing. The recipe I used is the one where you bring in snow to pile on the top of the fabric.
