Visit to North Sydney Markets

I haven't been to North Sydney Markets for quite a few years, so it was great to have a reason to go.

Beautiful sunny day, I got there about 9am with my friend Nina, and we moseyed around all the stalls before it got too hot.

The Batik Oetoro stall was at the back, in full sun, and it reminded me of when I used to sell my art at this market years ago. Being on the cement in full sun was eventually the reason I stopped having a stall - 9:00am to 4:00pm in the summer's heat was unbearable for me, even with a canopy.

Still, Lynne comes to the market once a month (second Sunday of the month) to keep in touch with the Sydney clients of Batik Oetoro, to deliver orders etc, and it works well.

I was pleased to collect my goodies, and can't wait wait to test the thickener Sodium Alginate (also called MANUTEX RS) with my fibre-reactive dyes, and also the DR33 Guar Gum with my French silk dyes.

Once I've tested these products I'll know whether or not they're what I'm looking for in my elusive search for just the right style in my silk painting adventure which started in 1980 in Paris, France :-)

Have a good one!
