Home from Paris

Oooohhhh la la!!!!

I have just had the BEST holiday for years!!! My oh my, where to start?? Just a quick overview and I'll post photos etc soon :-)

Above you can see my 'tumble of silk' - all my handpainted silk scarves tumbled together - aren't they gorgeous? Or am I biased? Travelling with silk scarves and coats is the best decision to make, trust me :-)

10 days in Paris
5 days in Chambon-sur-Lignon [south west of Paris]
3 days in Lyon [100km north east of Chambon]
3 days in Paris

The silk painting festival in Chambon-sur-Lignon was faaabulous! I have started to write an article for the Silk Painters International website, which you can view here:

Silk Painting in Chambon-sur-Lignon

France - June 2007

I attended four workshops and have lots of photos - here's one photo to whet your appetite! 

This is Pierre Willocq, famous French silk artist, who actually designed the scarves for the Arty company for many years! 

What a delightful character he is, such a great sense of humour, and he speaks English fluently.


More later - I'm desperate for a home made strong Italian latte!

Ciao ciao
Teena!
