Hi Chris,,,yes it is freezing here in MN...actually now it is warming up to 40 and we are all nuts-running out with no coats on and now I am seeing people out shopping in shorts. Yep...we Minnesota people are a different breed.  I on the other hand, would love to retire and set up a nice studio where it is warm and I can paint with the windows open all year long.!

Thank you for your comment on my work. Funny, but I am drawn to your yellow Iris as well. I have never done Batik, but I notice in your work that it helps add dimension and interest. I would love top hear more about the process.

Hi Chris:

I have another 10 or 11 pieces I need to add. I will try to get them added before the end of the week. Thanks for asking. It will motivate me to get my new stuff added sooner. I checked your new pieces. They look great. I love the birds.

 Your work is beautiful and I love Dire Straits!

What would you like to know about my work? I use several types of dyes and resists. Seems like I just gotta try the next thing. I work on clothing because it allows me to be creative in a way that sells in this small community that I live in. I also really like the unpredicatability of tie dye aka Shibori.  I love watercolors too but I can only sell and store so many.

Don't know where you get your supplies but Dharma Trading is a great source. They are in the bay area which is not too far from where I live.

nice chatting with you, Diana from Nice, pronounced the French way

Hi Chris:

Thank you for your comments about my art. It is always good to hear when one is doing something others appreciate. I've added new images today and hope to be a more active participant in artscuttlebut.

I looked at your gallery and love the work. It has so much expression and feeling. I tend to be so detailed, I really envy people who can paint less detail and more expression. Great work.

Thanks for the kind words.  I love batik too!  I actually just returned from Bali and was able to visit a batik studio and see the artists in action.  Your batiks are lovely!
