BryerPatch Studio, Paducah Ky

Bryerpatch Studios
 So last year this was one of the places I never made it too.  Now I know what I was missing.
Caryl Bryer Fallert has built a stunning studio called Bryerpatch in Paducah. She works and lives in this large beautiful building specifically built to house both her business and home.  Perfectly laid out to accomodate a show room, work room and upstairs living and personal Studio.  My friend Bridget who works for Caryl during Paducah week gave me a grand tour.

I see Somthing New !!

Last night I wanted to test the Karen Pharr Studios base extender over colored pencils to see how it works.
I drew a simple picture, went over it with the base extender and let it dry. Once dry I ironed to set everything and then washed it. A good wash with Soap and water since I was testing.
No runs, No loss of Color. Still very Soft.
Another great way to use the base extender.

New Underwater View

The most fun I have had in a while, Creating this Underwater piece. Scrunching fabrics, melting others. The frame just sets it all off.

The Man behind the Scenes

Rarely seen, the man behind the scenes.  My husband Mark is who really keeps things going.
When you see him at the shows, working hard in the booth please thank him for being there.  He drives the car while I catch up on sleep, he carries all the fun stuff into the building for set up and re-packs it all so we can move on to the next show.
Thanks Mark !!!

Screen Print

Found this great new screen at the last show. I could wait to get it home and play.  This is my teal blue shimmer paint straight from the jar onto the screen printed onto white fabrics.  Soooo Easy !!
