Canada workshop

,,

These colorful and crispy maple leaves brought me here in Vancouver.

Sunday morning after the long haul from Hong Kong via Tokyo, Seattle....... landed Vancouver and warmly received by Sharon, the host of my natural imprints and wool felt workshops.  

Immediately we done testing on leaves with the way I was going to teach. Prints are good, dried oak leaves with shades and outline.

Shades of euc silver dollar and rose leaves are bold

Next day participants each done three pieces of different materials

Ginny's piece with shades of different leaves

This is what we want

Mixed leaves shades.

Dried maple outline

Euc is always the most eye catching color

Prints of iron dipped maples on cotton are strong

Leaves on papers 

A simple silk scarf closed with wool felt flower brooch

Thanks Rebecca, Sharon, Basha, Ginny and Judith, also Vanitha for my first workshop in Vancouver. Ginny and Basha came the long way from Seattle, Judith from the island. Sharon's studio is perfect with everything in finger tip. She's a great host and talented artists of many aspects. Her paverpol fabric sculptures are amazing.  That's the first time opened my eye of the marvelous craft.  She's so generous to teach me to make a figurine.

The elegant girl I made under her tutorial. I really love it and definitely will do some more when I'm back home.

Sharon's house and studio is cozy, with these two gorgeous cats even make me feel home.

Today I went to downtown Gastown and Waterfront for a walk.

Quite leisure strolling on weekday and weather was not bad as warned. For the coming few days will have wool feltmaking. Anticipate to share such fun and joy with liked-minded.
