“If you ask me what I came to do in this world, I, an artist, will answer you: I am here to live out loud.”
― Émile Zola
Saturday, the NTSAQA met at Jules Rushing's house...a very talented lady who is an expert in dyeing fabric. She has a really great set up in her garage to dye fabric and she invited us to join her in dyeing. Nine of us met there and had a great time!

After dyeing, we took our fabric home in containers or zip lock bags. Then today I rinsed out my fabric and here it is.

So when we meet again, we have a challenge to use our newly dyed fabrics in a work of art....no size or design designated. It will interesting to see what everyone comes up with!!
It was a great day! My cuticles are still blue.....
