What I'm reading ....

i started Atonement & didn't finish it. It was interesting & all, but I just needed a break ... so, Envy was on the shelf. I read a book review from the NYTimes book section ... checked it out right away.

This book is fantastic. Kind of historical fiction. The author does an excellent job of creating Lydia Cassett & posing for her famous sister!

The other book I'd like to get my hands on is called the Thirteenth Tale -- of course the request list is about 30 people long ....

I took a class by Jane Ellen Balzuweit in September of 2001. Her contact information here. (Front of Bookmark. As always, click on the photograph to view detail.) The person I was with received permission to teach this to our local EGA chapter. It is my understanding this technique usually is done in white & off white fibers. (Back of Bookmark.)

 I made some examples, for the class, using other colors so the students could have a better idea of working the fibers. I sent those samples to Cathy for the Bookmarks for Literacy outreach program her chapter is doing. This photo shows bookmarks made with dmc Perle Cotton AND Rainbow Gallery Overture + Encore! color #128. Cathy was interested in this technique. I found some pictures, instructions, diagrams & definitions on line
