(left you a comment on your blog as well) thanks for the link to your daughter's blog with the photos- they must have had fun choosing the colors! Ravenhill- sure- send some along. I'd love to try some overdyeing and texturing of the linings- I recently did this with a stash of silk tie fabric I was given. had to do discharge with them since the colors were so dark. they weren't too interesting to me colorwise but they took the texture readily.

I keep eying your gorgeous silk ribbons and shibori silk. I have a real thing for silk... I have bought a good number of kimono and have several linings that are quite blotchy from age. If I sent these to you would you be able to use them? I am not interested in doing any dying myself as I am highly sensitive to chemicals. I would love it if they could be put to use! Let me know if you would like to have them. If so I would be glad to send them to you! Hello again! I keep eying your gorgeous silk ribbons and shibori silk.

Everyone went home wanting to make more felt for Christmas presents. I haven't posted on my blog yet, but you can see my daughter's post about it on her blog: www.knitonequilttoo.typepad.com/chloe I'd love to join your give away, but if it's too late, I understand.

Can't wait to hear how it all turns out! My experience with kids and art over the past 10 years in public school is is that all kids benefit greatly from learning art concepts and using their brains in a different way that they are used to. Kids tagged with the ADD/ADHD moniker are often kids who are better at learning through modes not generally practiced in public school settings. One of my sons was one of those kids and I have seen many others as well. Art can truly open doors for kids. Thanks...5 special gifts to ponder making.........this will be fun!

I have been teaching my 2 kids and offered to tech my sons' class how to silk paint for art's sake. I have enough small frames and 11" silk hankies, egg carton palettes and seta silk for them to use. This is a school for mostly ADD/ADHD kids who are being taught to mainstream and I hope this will help build confidence, self-esteem and a love of art. It will be fun.

Your "ramblings" are just the ticket for me! I will post something here or on my blog. Thanks again.
