AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

I am busily struggling with resist dyeing on silk georgette. The aim is to make some gorgeous scarves for Christmas presents, hopefully all will turn out well after this overdyeing. Will probably also stencil or stamp to create more complex patterning.

The compost dyed silk seems to have inspired me. Here is another postcard with this silk as a background. I also dyed the silk threads used in the embroidery.

We moved our exhibition venue this year to Fremantle and found we had a very appreciative audience, both in sales and comments. Today we have a group meeting to discuss the exhibition, how we might improve it and, of course, where to hold next year's exhibition. There are some pictures from the exhibition on my blog: http://maureengrantham.blogspot.com/

Here is one of the postcards that sold in Ottowa recently.

I have been asked to make a fabric postcard for a prestigious fundraiser event in Switzerland. I have no objection to doing this, but hey, if I put the price asked by charities on my own work I would never make a sale. Guess just to get out there and get my name known is a benefit, as well as supporting an important charity.
