New Yarn - FINALLY!

I am Finally spinning again - It's been WAAAAAAAY too long so now I"m in a serious creative phase again - there is not enough time in the day. This is 350 (or more really!) yards of 2ply yarn from Silver CVM and Silk dyed in emerald green/Violet and Turqoise. It is for sale but if someone doesn't snap this up I may have to use it in a weaving project it is so pretty. $35.00 +Shipping.

And last but most certainly NOT least are two of the most talented folks I've ever met - the silk painters. These two ladies - Linda Walters and Sheri Reckers are incredible. I wish I could show you up close the GORGEOUS pieces they have. These two costumes (Diamas on the left by Sheri and the blue/gold gown on the right by Linda) are stunning.
