I received the picture of this lovely finished Hibiscus project a few days ago from Joyce DeMattei.  This design is part of the Silk Ribbon Flower Series.  This method of finishing as a banner is unique and the deep red background really sets it off.  Thanks Joyce for sharing.  It is really fun to see photos of student's work and I plan to start posting more of these photos here over the next few months. 

The last few days has seen me colorwashing canvases for an upcoming pilot.  At the same time I have been trying out different methods to find one that will be the easiest for students to reproduce on their own.  One of the classes at the ANG Seminar this fall, POPPIES, has students colorwashing their own in class and I would like them to also be able to easily use the technique at home.  It's great to add a wash of color to a canvas if you want to have a little canvas peak through for added depth and perspective. 

I must get back to skeining threads for another upcoming class.
