SAQA Maine Event

The Maine Event Sept. 20-22 was FANTASTIC!  It was a gathering of almost 40 fiber artists (yes, we are all artists ladies!!) getting together and sharing new techniques and products.  I taught a workshop using Paverpol fabric hardener and I think I created some monsters. 🙂 Can’t wait to see what comes in next year for show and tell!  (Sept. 12-14, 2014 and you don’t have to be a SAQA member)  We had a wonderful tie dye workshop that I helped wash out at midnight that turned me into a ‘smurf’! (blue hands)  See what I do for you all!!?  Others were , a great thread painting class, mini lectures on using photoshop and/or photos in your work, using sheers and a great tool to cut them!!, using sharpies and alcohol to paint or embellish fabric, and a wonderful slideshow of an exhibit by our two Canadian girls! (Congratulations)  We are looking for more SAQA reps from ME, NH, and VT so if anyone is so inclined please contact me!! It’s not labor intensive and you DO get alot out of it. Photos to follow
