What’s New?

Well, I have my new eye wear. One pair of teal and one – red, of course.

I am enjoying the new glasses so much. I can see the small print again.

Yesterday, I packed up two boxes of supplies for my Art Quilt Claremont class with Rayna Gilman. I can’t wait!!!!!

On the list of supplies were copper or wooden tjaps for the soy batik session. I ordered this beauty from Dharma Trading. coppertjap.jpg

It was very pricey so I checked on e-bay and found some wonderful antique Afghani pear wood printing blocks. I won the bids on three of them.

There was a problem, however. For some odd reason my Paypal shipping address for e-bay defaulted to my old address in Santa Rosa. The new owners of the house asked the postman to forward it to me. Instead, it went back to the seller who reshipped them this morning. I am hoping that they get here before I fly out on Friday.

I have been in meetings or working on the Cathedral Arts Commission brochure most of today. I am taking some time in the studio tomorrow!!

    What great glasses! My eye Dr’s assistant told me that red is the new eye fashion color.
    Love your tjap and the Afghani blocks are great. I found two of the latter at a small shop here in Atlanta (well,Decatur) and use them a lot. I actually like how they work better than most of my copper tjaps.
    Have a great time at AQC!

    Cool new glasses. Isn’t it great to be able to see again? Hope your printing blocks arrive in time. I used to have some of those, bought when they were cheap, but I let them go in a garage sale when I was young and stupid.

    I like the red glasses — very classic, but still a bit funky 🙂 I hope your printing blocks arrive in time. I wish you a wonderful time at Art Quilt Claremont and can’t wait to see what you make. Well, and what’s for dessert too 😉
