Well, geezzzz

I don't want to blame my memory loss on old age so let's just say because I'm SO busy I forget to link last week to my posts as guest blogger on And Then We Set it on Fire.  I was showing how to use SolarFast, which is a sun-developed dye by Jacquard.  It's really a cool product...so as a recap, click on links below if you have any interest and check out the 'Fire' blog for earlier posts on sun printing.  The entire month of June are posts by guest bloggers and their experience with different sun printing techniques!  And it's free!!!

Printing with transparency negatives

Screen printing and as a thickened dye

Using Stencils

Stamping and Shibori

Other Media  (even using it on wood!)

So, whew!, I know this is a lot to digest, if you are so inclined...if not, have a great day and just remember this post in case you ever are interested in SolarFast or bookmark the FIRE blog for great tips and techniques throughout the year!

Unfinished Business

No, I don't have any more UFO's to show as unfinished business....first, last week was the end of school for the year for Nick and Amber.  I posted two weeks ago attending Amber's honor awards ceremony but last Monday I had our Fiber Study group at my house so I couldn't attend Nick's!  This is Nick in the dark shirt when he was giving his Texting and Driving presentation a few weeks back, that I did attend.

Because I want to have it documented on my blog (so grandma can remember years from now!)....this is what his mom/my DIL wrote:
"We attended Nick’s 5^th grade honors ceremony/farewell celebration this afternoon– Nick also received silver honors for his (3) years of academics for honors in 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th grade. He too has reached a milestone and is moving on from Clear Lake Elementary to Oxford Middle School as a member of the graduating class of 2021! "   

Seems to me Kris also said he rec'd 3 different awards...I just don't remember what all they were!  I'm pretty sure one was for his 'Texting' presentation.  Bad Grandma!  Anyway, a shout out to Nick for all his hard work too!!!
And today starts my week being a guest blogger on And Then We Set It On Fire blog.  The entire month of June is devoted to guest bloggers posting on different ways to sun print.  I'm posting on using SolarFast (sun-developed dye)  for printing.  I've posted last August here on my own blog, about my first use of this product.   I had a ball playing with it all over again when we returned from Florida.  Check it out!  

And go back, if you haven't seen the other posts starting the first week in June, to see other products and techniques for sun printing.  In fact, grab a cup of coffee (or wine if it's 4 o'clock!) and check out older posts.  There's so much to read about and tips to pick up even if you've used a fiber or mixed media technique in the past.  Enjoy!
