My Silk Painting

I took a silk banner painting class at Sport of Kings in 2011 and again in 2013. My first attempt was ruined when a breeze caught the fabric while the gutta was still wet. The fabric folded and my design went 'SPLAT!' I didn't want to give up though, so in 2013 I purchased silk paddle fans from Dharma Trading Company. These are already fixed to a frame so the breezes on site wouldn't be a problem. The difference was Amazing and I am Hooked! As soon as I got home I ordered gutta and silk paints and produced 14 more designs. 12 of these were submitted to the An Tir Dirty Dozen Donation Derby at September Crown.

My Blackwork

My Pewter Work

I am a proud member of the An Tir Pewterer's Guild. Most of these tokens were commissioned from the Guild.

My Glass Etching Work

I have worked on many items, but the majority of them are made to be given away and I often don't manage to take photos first.
