It all started with this pillow (x 3).
The funky green color was perfect for our flat.
The rectangle shape was also perfect.
But the oriental theme never really worked for me.
So I went to Satwa
in search of some funky green silk to have pillowcases made.
No funky green to be found,
but I did find my favorite color: AQUA!
The pillows were finished in no time, thanks to
our special Satwa tailor!
But when I got them home, I decided I
really didn't like the plain
AQUA!
Then one of the AWAM Gals! suggested I go to
YOSHITA'S SILK PAINTING CLASS!
So off I went!
Yoshita had me practice with colors
and look through reams and reams of pictures
before she let me start.
(I'm learning PATIENCE, slowly but surely!)
Finally, I got to start on the first pillowcase!
Slowly it began to take shape!
And today I got to start adding in some
funky green color!
And the very best part of
YOSHITA'S SILK PAINTING CLASS?
Halfway through we break for coffee, tea,
sandwiches, and treats!
And plenty of conversation to get to know everyone there!
Thanks, Yoshita!
Not only am I learning how to paint on silk
but I'm really learning
PATIENCE!!
