We did it!  The 2017 Pop-Up Art Walk was a great success and great fun! I'll put up some pictures for posterity.  A HUGE thank you to everyone who helped.  You really made it a fun time.  Thanks to Judy Knight for procuring the Wyoming Women's History House.  The overwhelming sentiment of the weekend was that everyone was excited to see the place open!  Our artwork was very well received.  I must also thank my husband, Orrin.  He did whatever we asked and was a good sport.... patient too.

Dye days 2017

Here's my favorite piece from dye days.  Thanks again, Dolly (and Greg), for the great space you provide!

Looking for Soft Fuse and magnetic sheets

Does anyone know if Soft Fuse is available in Laramie?  If you order online, where do you get it from?


Also, I'm looking for thin, flexible magnetic sheets (like fridge magnets) to use in a project.  Any source ides for those?


Thanks!

Often informative blog

Hi all,
Do any of you follow Shelley Stokes' Cedar Canyon Textiles blog?  She is the one who invented (?) Shiva Paintstiks.  Not sure about invented, but she used to sell them exclusively and has used them almost exclusively in her work.  Her newsletter is one of the few I actually look at each time she puts out a new one.  She has recently sold off the part of her business that sells the Painstiks and now focuses on her art.  Here's a link to her most recent newsletter.

Cedar Canyon newsletter

Her blog has also been interesting in the last year or so as she documents her shift from selling Shiva to working on her art.

Cheers,
Mary K
