<i>Finally </i>finished this 30" x 40" gingko leaves painting! It'll be digitized and giclees printed. I may even do cards.<br />
<br />
It was so much fun to paint this one.

As one of the invited guest artists, I showed my work in Michelle Jordan's clay studio. Lots of fun, meeting new people, seeing old friends, and students and friends who drove miles and miles to midtown Atlanta in the wet, cold, damp weather to support me! I am grateful to all of them!<br />
<br />
A couple came from Jasper, somewhere up in the North Georgia mountains I think, and another came on crutches after foot surgery all the way from somewhere called John's Creek, and two walked 3 miles to come see me! Oh my!<br />
<br />
I received nice comments about my work and of course that made me want to rush home and paint some more right away.<br />

My card picked was the Joker, and instead of a literal translation</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did an abstract depicting the foolishness, the naivety</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the there are no limitations in life,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and just go swirling around into the unknown aspects of the "Fool" in the Tarot Card.</div>

Below are four pics of my first attempt at ice cube dyeing. It's on linen/cotton rough weave medium to heavy weight. The colors aren't as strong or bright as I had hoped, so next time I will sprinkle more dye.<br />

Below is a hexagon clamp resist piece and leftover dyes were used. The darker spots are navy dye that had a lot of Superclear in it which was hard to rinse out. It back-dyed on some areas.</div>

Below is a hexagon folded but not clamped piece using leftover dyes again. Both the one above and this one had intense dye on them (not as diluted) so the colors are more brilliant. Both are the same medium to heavy weight rough weave linen/cotton fabric.<br />

Using the navy mixed with SuperClear (not straight solution but 50/50 with water) I stenciled onto the same fabric. It was hard to get the dye all the way through at first. Notice how light some areas are where I didn't continue to rub the stencil brush over and over.</div>

The Superclear was hard to wash out and I wanted to see if I wasn't careful how much would dye-back onto the fabric as can be seen below. I may try rice paste or some other medium to stencil with.<br />

Although she was able to only show us a few techniques in that short time, her 40 plus years of experience impressed us. Her work is gorgeous <a href="http://www.betsysterlingbenjamin.com/" target="_blank">Kiranada Benjamin's Website</a> and how she quickly did a bokashi (blending) demo was like magic. Especially after each of us tried it on our own. This is going to take a lot of practice... and very special handmade Japanese brushes.<br />
<br />
My favorite brush is this one. It's tanuki hair (don't know if American raccoons have the same type of "hair") and is stiff, dense, and I get much control with this. Worth every penny! Yes, it's super expensive.<br />

Here are some of my practice samples of bokashi:<br />

<br />
This is going to take years of practice. Notice I couldn't even make a perfect circle.<br />
<br />
We also crackled the wax resist and also etched on the thick wax. Here are some more samples:<br />
