Textured Painting

Yes, I know I make jewellery, but I wanted to try my hand at Paul Bozzo's cool textured painting technique. See his videos in previous post. I have a long way to go but I have to tell ya - this is really fun!!

I can't wait to experiment with more colours and different textures.

Textile Shop

Not quite finished our vacation but wanted to pass on a link to the most fabulous shop on Granville Island in Vancouver, BC.
It is a textile shop called MAIWA that carries an amazing assortment of textile products, including paints, resists, yarns and the best wood block carvings that could also be used with polymer clay or a thousand other materials.
Thanks to my most wonderful husband, who followed me patiently as I explored every nook and cranny of Granville Island for hours!
What a guy!!
